DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Jessica Warbinek (KU Leuven)\n\n\nFor several decade
 s\, the ISOLDE facility at CERN has been at the forefront of nuclear physi
 cs research. More than 1000 radioactive isotopes can be produced at ISOLDE
  and investigated using a variety of techniques\, all with a common goal: 
 to study nuclear structure and improve our understanding of the strong for
 ce binding atomic nuclei. Experiments probe the excited-state structure of
  radioactive isotopes\, their masses and binding energies\, electromagneti
 c properties\, and even lay the groundwork for applications\, for instance
  for nuclear medicine.\nOne of the main pillars of the ISOLDE research pro
 gram is laser spectroscopy. By studying the atomic structure of chemical e
 lements and subtle variations in the atomic energy levels and the hyperfin
 e structure\, rich information on nuclear ground-state properties can be e
 xtracted. In this way\, signatures of “magic” combinations of protons 
 and neutrons\, associated with enhanced nuclear stability\, and the evolut
 ion of nuclear shell structure far from stability can be investigated.\nIn
  recent years\, laser spectroscopy studies at ISOLDE have provided new ins
 ights into nuclear structure phenomena\, atomic structure\, and\, more rec
 ently\, also into the properties of radioactive molecules. With growing in
 terest in heavy molecules containing pear-shaped nuclei as sensitive probe
 s for electric dipole moment (EDM) searches\, in-depth studies of candidat
 e systems have been performed at ISOLDE. These studies establish the spect
 roscopic foundations required for future precision measurements by charact
 erizing the electronic and molecular structure of these systems.\nThis sem
 inar will provide an overview of the capabilities of laser spectroscopy at
  ISOLDE\, highlight recent results\, ongoing developments\, and future per
 spectives.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nRefreshments wil
