An Electrostatic Ion Beam Trap for Ultra-Sensitive Col- linear Laser Spectroscopy of Radionuclides (EIBT-LS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2017, End date: Dec 31, 2021,

Employing laser spectroscopy (LS) to study radionuclides is equally rich in its long tradition as it is manifold in its active pursuit today as virtually all radioactive ion beam (RIB) facilities do or are planning to host dedicated setups. Probing the hyperfine structure of an atom or ion with laser light is a powerful technique to infer nuclear properties such as a nuclide’s spin, charge radius, ...
