  2. Overview • The idea: Development of an ion source which combines very high selectivity with excellent control over the ion beam properties. • The basis: The successfull joint material and laser tests for RILIS at the off-line separator in Jan. 2007 • The method: Combination of the advantages of a laser ion source with those of a radio frequency quadrupole cooler and buncher. • The physics case: Test of CKM unitarity and constant vector current hypothesis CVC by mass measurements on 62Ga and 62Zn using ISOLTRAP • The proposal: Request for off-line and on-line beam time on 62Ga & 62Zn at ISOLDE in 2008 INTC Meeting 21.05. – 22.05.2007
