Abstract

Resonance ionization mass spectroscopy is employed in a time of flight mass spectrometer to explore atomic structure of lutetium in continuum using three- step photoionization. Nineteen new odd parity autoionization levels of neutral lutetium are identified in the range 50650 – 51650 cm−1 above ground level. The work provides three photon ionization pathways for neutral lutetium with all transitions in the visible range.
