Laser ion source for nuclear spectroscopic studies

Description

An element selective laser ion source has been used to produce beams of exotic radioactive nuclei and to study their decay properties. The operational principle of the ion source is based on selective resonant laser ionization of nuclear reaction products thermalized and neutralized in a noble gas at high pressure. The ion source has been installed at the mass separator (LISOL) which is coupled on line to the cyclotron accelerator at Louvain-la-Neuve. Exotic nickel and cobalt nuclei were produced in proton-induced fission of 238U. The β decay of 68-74Ni and 67-70Co isotopes has been studied by means of β-γ and γ-γ spectroscopy
