Isotopically selective RIMS of rare radionuclides by double-resonance excitation with single-frequency cw lasers

  • 1. Pacific Northwest Lab., Richland, WA (United States)

Description

Double-resonance resonance ionization mass spectroscopy (RIMS) using two single-frequency dye lasers and a CO2 laser for photoionization has been shown to be both extremely sensitive and high selective. Measurements on the radioisotope 210Pb have demonstrated optical selectivity in excess of 109 and detection limits of less than 1 femtogram. (Author)
