Abstract

The study of nuclei far from stability requires high sensitivity of the experimental technique. The method of Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy in a Laser Ion Source (RIS/LIS) allows one to carry out measurements of the isotope shifts and hyperfine splittings for isotopes at the production rate about 102 atoms per second. The sensitivity of this method is determined by the high efficiency of the laser ion source and the low background of the detection system afforded by characteristic α particle registration. The isotope shifts and hyperfine structures of 155Yb, 154Tm (I=9 and I=2) and 153Tm (I=11/2) have been measured and the isotopic changes in mean square charge radii and nuclear electromagnetic moments have been determined.

The further development of this experimental method – enhanced Target Ion Source system aimed to suppress thermionic background – enables direct detection of the photoions and widens the range of the applicability of the RIS/LIS method.
