| Abstract | We report on the development, characterization, and first application of a specialized resonance ionization laser ion source for high-resolution spectroscopy applications below usual hot cavity Doppler broadening limitations, for on-line experiments at CERN-ISOLDE. The new PI-LIST ion source comprises perpendicular laser/atom beam interaction in a radio-frequency quadrupole unit directly downstream the hot atomizer cavity. A spectral linewidth of 200–300MHz is demonstrated, with the potential to achieve below 100MHz. Compared to standard in-source laser ionization, the efficiency reduction factor ranges from a few 100 to above 1000. The implementation of this ion source concept at thick target radioactive ion beam facilities will greatly enhance capabilities for nuclear structure investigations without demanding dedicated experimental beam line setups, and will facilitate the delivery of isomer-pure beams to experimental stations. |
