The electron affinity (EA) is the energy released when an additional electron is bound to a neutral atom, thereby creating a negative ion. Due to the lack of a long-range Coulomb attraction, the EA is dominated by electron-correlation effects resulting in binding energies in the order of only a few electronvolts. Hence, negative ions represent intriguing probes for theoretical atomic models...
The mean-square charge radii of $^{207,208}$Hg have been studied by the application of in-source resonance ionization laser spectroscopy, employing the ISOLDE-RILIS together with the Windmill detector and the ISOLTRAP MR-ToF MS. The characteristic kink in the charge radii at the N = 126 neutron shell closure has been revealed, providing the first information on its behavior below Z = 82. This...
High-resolution laser spectroscopy has been proven to be a powerful tool to extract nuclear structure data in an almost model-independent manner [1]. The isotope shift which can be extracted from the hyperfine spectra of exotic nuclei gives direct access to their changes in mean-square charge radii. This provides information on e.g. deformation and shape coexistence, proton-neutron pairing...
Collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy is a powerful technique which can provide a unique insight in nuclear properties such as spins, electromagnetic moments and changes in mean-square charge radii from near doppler-free measurement of the hyperfine structure. This technique was used at the Collinear Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy (CRIS) beamline at ISOLDE-CERN, for studying nuclear...
As small as it is, about 1% of the total mass of an atom, the binding energy carries precious information regarding all the forces at play within the system. Hence, studying the evolution of binding differences along isotopic and isotonic chains can reveal nuclear structure effect such as shell closures or region of increased collectivity. In particular, the neutron-rich region between...
The Multi Ion Reflection Apparatus for Collinear Laser Spectroscopy (MIRACLS) is a novel approach for Collinear Laser Spectroscopy (CLS) in order to probe the most `exotic’ nuclides with very low production yields [1]. This is achieved by trapping an ion bunch in an electrostatic ion beam trap, also known as Multi-Reflection Time-of-Flight (MR-ToF) device in precision mass spectrometry [2], in...
