  First charge radii measurements of three very light calcium isotopes

  

  Isotope shift measurements on three light calcium isotopes (Ca-36 to Ca-39) have been published in Nature Physics. The measurements were performed at NSCL/MSU and LaserSpHERe has contributed by the development of the fluorescence detection region. The publication is announced in a Press Release by TU Darmstadt (idw, in German) entitled „Rätselhafte Größe extrem leichter Calciumisotope". go

  First spectroscopic Results from COALA are published

  

  Our measurements of transition frequencies and isotope shifts of all stable barium isotopes in the D1 and D2 transitions have been published in Physical Review A. To our knowledge, these are the most precise collinear measurements performed so far. Our result for the transition frequency of Ba-138 is even slightly more accurate than a recent measurement on laser-cooled ions in a Paul trap. go

  Bernhard Maas receives Giersch Excellence Grant

  

  Bernhard Maas received a Giersch Excellence Grant for his outstanding work performed during the last academic year. He has performed high-precision measurements of isotope shifts in stable boron isotopes using resonance ionization mass spectrometry and increased sensitivity in collinear laser spectroscopy. The price ceremony took place at the FIAS in Frankfurt go
