Description

A chemically selective laser ion source based on resonance ionization of atoms in a hot cavity was applied for study of short-lived tin isotopes at the heavy ion accelerator UNILAC/GSI. Tin atoms were ionized by a three-step resonance laser excitation of an autoionizing state. Yields of fusion-produced 108Sn and 108In isotopes were compared with the plasma ion source FEBIAD-B3. The total efficiency of tin ionization was determined to be 8.5%, whilst the indium isobar ionization was suppressed by a factor of 12. An experimental run on study of decay properties of extremely neutron deficient isotopes 101-103Sn has been carried out
