Speaker:   Annika Voss (University of Jvaskyla)

Title:     High-Resolution Resonance Ionisation and Collinear Laser Spectroscopy of Plutonium

Abstract: A new program at the Ion-Guide Isotope Separation On-Line (IGISOL) facility at the University of Jyvaskyla was recently kicked off to pursue laser spectroscopic investigations of heavy elements. In collaboration with the University of Mainz, resonance ionisation spectroscopy and collinear laser spectroscopy will be combined to study elements where sufficiently large sample sizes can be obtained.

With the aim of the program being to provide optical work on actinide elements, plutonium was chosen as a first case of interest. An injection-locked Ti:Sa laser was designed and tested in Jyvaskyla and utilized for high-resolution resonance ionisation spectroscopy in Mainz. In Jyvaskyla the collinear laser spectroscopy was performed leading to the collinear studies of the heaviest element and isotopes to date.

Results from both experiments will be presented.
