Investigation into the properties and structure of unstable nuclei far from stability is a key
avenue of research in modern nuclear physics. These efforts are motivated by the continual …

High-resolution laser spectroscopy is an established powerful tool in the study of nuclear
shape, size and multipole moments. Measurements of the hyperfine structures and isotope …

Signatures of criticality in the evolution of the nuclear ground-state shapes across the N× Z
plane are discussed. Attention is paid to specific data indicating sudden structural changes …

Over three and a half decades of collinear laser spectroscopy and the COLLAPS setup have
played a major role in the ISOLDE physics programme. Based on a general experimental …

In the last decade there has been a renaissance in laser spectroscopy at on-line facilities.
This has included the introduction of ion traps and the use of laser ion sources to study the …

The first on-line laser spectroscopy of cooled fission fragments is reported. The Z 96–102 r
ions, produced in uranium fission, were extracted and separated using an ion guide isotope …

The spins, moments and radii of krypton isotopes have been investigated by collinear fast-
beam laser spectroscopy in combination with ultra-sensitive collisional ionization detection …

Modern techniques of laser spectroscopy enable measurements of optical isotope shifts and
hyperfine structures to be extended across long chains of isotopes reaching far from the …

Radioisotopes of molybdenum have been studied using laser spectroscopy techniques at
the IGISOL facility, University of Jyväskylä. Differences in nuclear charge radii have been …

Strong evidence for the existence of previously postulated deformed excited states in Zr 58
98 has been obtained by an accurate measurement of the ρ 2 (0 3+→ 0 2+) value for the …
