Multiple particle type interaction isotopically selective ionization

Description

The invention relates to laser induced isotope separation and in particular to isotopically selective ionization of excited particles of one isotope type in an environment of particles of more than one isotope type. The method is used to enrich uranium, typically the U-235 isotope, by exciting the U-235 particles to an energy level only slightly below the ionization level and employing collisional ionization to achieve ions of the desired U-235 type.
