Abstract

The combination of high-resolution laser spectroscopy techniques and radioactive ion beams has provided major input for nuclear physics studies in different regions of the nuclear chart by accessing nuclear intrinsic properties, such as spins, magnetic and quadrupole moments and charge radii of exotic nuclei. As more and more exotic radioactive beams become available, laser spectroscopy and its relevant techniques start to be renascent with many advanced experimental setups being established and planned at radioactive-beam facilities world-wide. Meanwhile, a further exploration to expand the laser spectroscopy of radioactive beams into not only nuclear physics but also multiple interdisciplinary fields is being in progress. In this contribution, by using the relevant laser spectroscopy setups at ISOLDE as examples, the details of high precision laser spectroscopy experimental techniques applied to radioactive beams will be presented, together with a few highlights and achievements during the past years.

Highlights

  • It is well-known nowadays that the laser spectroscopy technique can be applied in various fields of science and technology

  • By using the relevant laser spectroscopy setups at ISOLDE as examples, the details of high precision laser spectroscopy experimental techniques applied to radioactive beams will be presented, together with a few highlights and achievements during the past years

  • With continuous development of radioactive ion (RI) beam facilities and production of bunched ions beam using the rf-quadrupole ion cooler and trap [3], the sensitivity of the laser spectroscopy technique has been significantly enhanced by several orders of magnitude in the last 10 years
