Abstract

Resonant laser ionization in a gas cell has been implemented at the Leuven Isotope Separator On Line facility to produce beams of short lived radioactive nuclei and to study their decay characteristics. A description of the laser ion source is presented together with technical details on the laser system, the gas cell and the gas purification system. Results from off line as well as on line measurements are discussed. The new laser ion source has allowed β decay studies of neutron deficient (54Ni, 92Rh) as well as neutron rich (up to 74Ni and 70Co) isotopes.
