At the ISOLDE on-line isotope separation facility, the resonance ionization laser ion source (RILIS) can be used to ionize reaction products as they effuse from the target. The RILIS process of laser step-wise resonance ionization of atoms in a hot metal cavity provides a highly element selective stage in the preparation of the radioactive ion beam. As a result, the ISOLDE mass separators can p...

Ionization of equatorial and axial conformational isomers of the chair-bromocyclohexane is investigated with use of the vacuum ultraviolet mass-analyzed threshold ionization (MATI) spectroscopic technique. Two distinct ionization energies of 9.8308 ± 0.0025 and 9.8409 ± 0.0025 eV are determined for equatorial or axial conformers, respectively. From the conformer-selective vibrational analysis, ...
