Investigation into the properties and structure of unstable nuclei far from stability is a key
avenue of research in modern nuclear physics. These efforts are motivated by the continual …

Molecules containing short-lived, radioactive nuclei are uniquely positioned to enable a
wide range of scientific discoveries in the areas of fundamental symmetries, astrophysics …

Over three and a half decades of collinear laser spectroscopy and the COLLAPS setup have
played a major role in the ISOLDE physics programme. Based on a general experimental …

The interest to perform laser spectroscopy in the heaviest elements arises from the strong
impact of relativistic effects, electron correlations and quantum electrodynamics on their …

New technical developments have led to a 2 orders of magnitude improvement of the
resolution of the collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy (CRIS) experiment at ISOLDE …

Wavelength meters are widely used for frequency determinations and stabilization purposes
since they cover a large wavelength range, provide a high read-out rate and have specified …

The radiative lifetime of the A Π 1/2 2 (v= 0) state in radium monofluoride (RaF) is measured
to be 35 (1) ns. The lifetime of this state and the related decay rate Γ= 2.86 (8)× 10 7 s− 1 are …

This paper reports on the hyperfine-structure and radioactive-decay studies of the neutron-
deficient francium isotopes Fr 202–206 performed with the Collinear Resonance Ionization …

A high repetition rate pulsed Ti: sapphire laser injection-locked to a continuous wave seed
source is presented. A spectral linewidth of 20 MHz at an average output power of 4 W is …

Abstract The Multi Ion Reflection Apparatus for Collinear Laser Spectroscopy (MIRACLS)
seeks to extend the reach of high-resolution collinear laser spectroscopy (CLS) to more …
