To the very neutron rich…..to find?..with what signature?(..using an EM probe to explore neutral particles?)
To date; All shell closures, Sub-shell closures, N=88, Zr region, Octupole regions, Shape coexistence, Haloes appear in isotope shift data..
High resolution ionic laser spectroscopy Need narrow bandwidth lasers (~MHz), only lower power (~1mW), CW for stability but as wide a range of wavelengths as possible: So we use dye lasers pumped by CW YAG... The IGISOL facility, JYFL
Pumping in the cooler: Ta IONS deep UV
Pumping in the cooler: Ta IONS deep UV Reachable with the dye laser (doubled)..
Optically pump in the cooler In the linear trap the ions are moving relatively rapidly compared to room temperature (40x kT), i.e. 1eV But we can hold them here for 100s of milliseconds... The IGISOL facility, JYFL
Optically pump in the cooler Use broad band lasers (10s GHz fine), need high power for harmonic production, pulsed to achieve power, provide as short a wavelength as possible: So doubled, tripled and quadrupled Ti-Sapphire laser... The IGISOL facility, JYFL
We also own... Doublers for the dye lasers, 3 Nd YAG lasers, 1 Cu Vapour laser, a PDL and PDA, a diode cavity laser (DL100), and n helium neon lasers where n is a large positive integer...
We also own... and a dead Ar ion (30W) and a dead excimer laser (XeCl)... (n.b. they died and we don’t care – we would have been very upset in the past though)
