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 …

Nuclear charge radii are sensitive probes of different aspects of the nucleon–nucleon
interaction and the bulk properties of nuclear matter, providing a stringent test and challenge …

Molecules containing heavy radioactive nuclei are predicted to be extremely sensitive to
violations of the fundamental symmetries of nature. The nuclear octupole deformation of …

Isotope shifts of Ra 223–226, 228 F 19 were measured for different vibrational levels in the
electronic transition A 2 Π 1/2← X 2 Σ+. The observed isotope shifts demonstrate the …

High-resolution laser spectroscopy can be used to precisely measure atomic hyperfine
structures and shifts in spectral lines. These nuclear perturbations of the atomic structure …

This work reports on the application of a novel electric field-ionization setup for high-
resolution laser spectroscopy measurements on bunched fast atomic beams in a collinear …

A collinear resonance ionisation spectroscopy setup has been developed with the aim to
study the nuclear properties of more exotic isotopes. It is developed on the basis of a …

In preparation of space-change studies a MagneTOF detector is evaluated for bunches with
a wide range of ion numbers. The detector is calibrated based on the comparison between …

To optimize the performance of the Collinear Resonance Ionization Spectroscopy (CRIS)
experiment at CERN-ISOLDE, technical upgrades are continuously introduced, aiming to …

This thesis concerns applications and developments of the Resonance Ionization Laser Ion
Source (RILIS) at CERN-ISOLDE for ion beam production and laser spectroscopy. Laser …
