CRIS: A new method in isomeric beam production
The Collinear Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy (CRIS) experiment at ISOLDE, CERN, uses laser radiation to stepwise excite and ionize an atomic beam for the purpose of ultra-sensitive detection of rare isotopes, and hyperfine-structure measurements. The technique also offers the ability to purify an ion beam that is heavily contaminated with radioactive isobars, including the ground state of an...
متن کاملEUROPEAN ORGANIZATION FOR NUCLEAR RESEARCH Addendum to the ISOLDE and Neutron Time-of-Flight Committee IS471: Collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy of rare francium isotopes
We propose to study the neutron-deficient (201−206Fr) and neutron-rich (218,219,229−232Fr) francium isotopes with high-resolution collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy. Extraction of the quadrupole moments will provide information on the nature of the deformation in the neutron-deficient nuclei and the octupole deformation suggested in the neutron-rich nuclei. The presence of the decay sp...
متن کاملCollinear resonance ionization spectroscopy of neutron-deficient francium isotopes.
The magnetic moments and isotope shifts of the neutron-deficient francium isotopes (202-205)Fr were measured at ISOLDE-CERN with use of collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy. A production-to-detection efficiency of 1% was measured for (202)Fr. The background from nonresonant and collisional ionization was maintained below one ion in 10(5) beam particles. Through a comparison of the measur...
متن کاملLaser Spectroscopy and Mass Measurements on Alkali Isotopes
Isotope shifts, spins, hyperfine structures and masses have been measured for the series of the alkali isotopes including the nuclei far from stability. The method of laser spectroscopy and its combinations with rf excitation are described. Some results are discussed, namely the first observation of the red doublet D~-D2 of francium, and the study of shell effects and changes of shape with mass...
متن کاملLifetime measurements of the 7D levels of atomic francium
We present lifetime measurements of the 7D3/2 and 7D5/2 levels of Fr. We use a time-correlated singlephoton counting technique on a sample of Fr atoms confined and cooled in a magneto-optical trap. The upper state of the 7P3/2 trapping transition serves as the resonant intermediate level for two-photon excitation of the 7D states. A probe laser provides the second step of the excitation, and we...
