Description
High resolution laser spectroscopy has been used to study the atomic hyperfine structure of thulium isotopes (Z=69). This technique results in a model independent measurement of the nuclear magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments, as well as the change in mean-square charge radius, with respect to the stable 169Tm. Collinear laser spectroscopy measurements were performed using the COLLAPS experiment based at ISOLDE, CERN. From a preliminary study to measure isotope yield and assess the chosen transition, measurements of thulium isotopes ranging from 155 – 175 were taken and have been analysed, with these results being the focus of the poster. This paves the way for studying the more neutron-deficient isotopes of thulium.
