We measured transitions in Ti + ions, which were created by laser ablation from a solid target, thermalization in He gas and extraction through RF funnels. Our results are now published in Phys. Rev. A and of interest as reference

Daniela Tandara has completed her Bachelor Thesis with the presentation „Composition Analysis of an Ion Beam extracted from the Penning Ion Source at KOALA“. Congratulations!

Our measurements in Ti + ions using laser ablation in a buffer-gas atmosphere and extraction into vacuum through a nozzle and a pair of radio-frequency funnels (TIMS) are published in Physical Review A .

In our latest article, published in Review of Scientific Instruments on August 23rd 2024, we describe a high-voltage divider for collinear laser spectroscopy and study field-penetration effects in the optical detection region.

The charge radii of germanium isotopes around N=40 were measured at COLLAPS/ISOLDE and exhibit a large odd-even staggering. By comparison with nuclear density functional theory calculations, we conclude that the behavior

Laura Renth has successfully defended her doctoral thesis entitled „Collinear Laser Spectroscopy of Magic Lead and Mid-Shell Palladium Isotopes“ and passed the rigorosum.

Our paper on nuclear moments along the isotopic chain of Ni has been published in Physics Letters B . It compares the results of laser spectroscopic measurements at COLLAPS with ab initio calculations
