Description
A method using a combination of a magneto-optical trap and a mass spectrometer, referred to as atom trap-mass spectrometry (ATMS), is employed for calcium-isotope analysis. A calcium magneto-optical trap with a Zeeman slower is used in the first isotope-selection stage of the ATMS. The trapped calcium isotope is ionized by using a frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser, and the photoions are analyzed using a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. The isotope-selection characteristics of the combination method and further improvements in the method are discussed in this work.
