    New Laser at CRYRING@ESR installed

    A Mixtrain from the Company Sirah Lasertechnik was installed in the laser laboratory at CRYRING@ESR. It is combined with the new MATISSE 2 titanium-sapphire laser and a wavetrain to produce light at 280-nm, which will be used in the beamtime on Mg+ ions end of March.

    Have we seen first optical pumping in a storage ring?

    This question is investigated in our paper published today in Physical Review Accelerators and Beams.
    We study optical pumping in the ESR using a rate equation approach to explain the disappearance of an optical resonance in Li+ when changing for linear to circular polarized light.

    First laser spectroscopic studies of short-lived Al isotopes published

    First laser spectroscopic results of short-lived Al isotopes appeared today in Physical Review C. The measurements were carried out at the COLLAPS beamline at ISOLDE/CERN. Besides the changes in charge radii, the magnetic and quadrupole moments were determined and compared with ab-initio calculations

    Solution to the field-shift puzzle in singly-charged calcium

    Our measurements of the transition frequencies in the singly-charged stable calcium isotopes have been published in Physical Review Research. With these, the discrepancy between experiment and theory existing in the field-shift ratio of two electric dipole transitions was solved.

    New DAQ System employed for the Spectroscopy of Germanium Isotopes at COLLAPS

    Our measurements of nuclear moments of the Germanium isotopes Ge-69,71,73 have been published today in Physical Review C. The new data acquisition system TILDA was used and demonstrated its versatility by identifying a molecular component of the beam.
