Julien Spahn (right) received a Master's Research Award from the Gerhard Herzberg Society for his outstanding master's thesis at this year's graduation ceremony for the department. Simon Rausch received the Gerhard Herzberg Research Award for his dissertation.

Our paper “The nuclear charge radius of 13 C ” published in Nature Communications was selected as a Spotlight for the September issue of Newton , the new flagship physics journal from Cell Press.

Our measurement of the hyperfine structure of the radioactive isotope Bi-208 in the storage ring of the ESR was recognized with a “News and Views” article in Nature Physics.

Emily Burbach has completed her Master Thesis with the presentation „Collinear Laser Spectroscopy of Helium-like Boron Ions“. Congratulations!

Our measurements of the charge radius of the carbon isotope C-13 at COALA have been published in Nature Communications . The results obtained by us and our colleagues in theory were highlighted in a press release by TU Darmstadt (idw news) (only in German).

Our paper “A Setup to Study Atomic State Population Dynamics and Optical Polarization at CRYRING@ESR” has been published in the Journal of Instrumentation as an open-access article.

Till Fabritz has completed his Master Thesis with the presentation „Investigation of Energy Ripple and Commissioning of electron-impact Ion Sources for Collinear Laser Spectroscopy“. Congratulations!

During the night of May 18 to 19, the hyperfine transition in lithium-like 208 Bi 80+ ions was observed for the first time at the GSI's experimental storage ring (ESR). A new method

In March, the first user experiment with the new HITRAP deceleration system was carried out at GSI/FAIR. This has now been prominently reported on the GSI website.

Our paper on charge radii of scandium isotopes has been published in Phys. Rev. Letters today. By measuring the isotopes 47-49 Sc we could establish the charge radii across the f 7/2 shell.
