Ionization Scheme Development at the ISOLDE RILIS

The resonance ionization laser ion source (RILIS) of the ISOLDE on-line isotope separation facility is based on the method of laser step-wise resonance ionization of atoms in a hot metal cavity. The atomic selectivity of the RILIS complements the mass selection process of the ISOLDE separator magnets to provide beams of a chosen isotope with greatly reduced isobaric contamination. Using a system of dye lasers pumped by copper vapour lasers, ion beams of 24 elements have been generated at ISOLDE with ionization efficiencies in the range of 0.5–15%. As part of the ongoing RILIS development off-line resonance ionization spectroscopy studies carried out in 2003 and 2004 have determined the optimal three-step ionization schemes for scandium, antimony, dysprosium and yttrium.

Evaluation of Limiting Characteristics of Laser Separation of Silicon Isotopes

Isotopically selective photoionization of silicon atoms by laser radiation using tunable dye lasers is considered. The scheme of atomic ionization with two-photon excitation via the resonance level of one of the high states with subsequent excitation of the autoionization state is proposed. The calculations carried out show that the up-to-date development of laser facilities allows one to evaluate the ultimate production of the highly enriched ²⁸Si isotope at a level of 0.1 g/h at a radiating power of 1 W for each wavelength. The excitation selectivity appears to be high (about 100) within the framework of the radiation problem and is actually defined by the conditions of ion extraction, background atom concentration, charge exchange, and so on rather than by the radiation processes.     

Velocity map imaging study of OCS photodissociation followed by S(1S) autoionization at 157 nm

Atomic sulphur ions (S+) were observed directly by crossing a carbonyl sulphide (OCS) molecular beam with a F2 laser. In this study both S+ ion and electron images were measured using the velocity map imaging technique. The results imply that S+ is produced from the well-known photodissociation of OCS at 157 nm leading to the dominant S(1S) + CO(1Σ+) channel, and then the excited S(1S) atom is directly ionized by another 157 nm photon. Correlated vibrationally resolved angular distributions and internal energy distribution of the CO coproducts are reported here and compared with previous studies. This experiment yields strong and sharp S+ images which may be useful for calibrating any imaging or laser ionization apparatus when using a 157 nm laser. A number of technical aspects such as corrections for partial slicing and imperfect laser polarization are described. Abstraction of product angular distributions using both polarized and unpolarized photolysis lasers is also demonstrated using velocity map imaging.     

Molecular beam study of photoionization of uranium and uranium oxide

Crossed laser molecular beam configuration was used to study the photoionization of U and UO by the UV-lines of an argon ion laser. Photoionization efficiencies of both U and UO were found to be line sensitive. Photoionization by the 3638 Å line was observed for the first time. Uranium atom ionization efficiency being higher for the 3345 Å and 3511 Å groups of lines, while UO ionization efficiency being maximum for the 3638 Å line. Dependence of photoion signal on laser power and relative photoionization efficiencies of the two isotopic species of uranium are also investigated.     

Resonance Ionization Mass Spectrometry (RIMS) with Pulsed and CW-Lasers on Plutonium

The detection of long-lived plutonium isotopes in ultra-trace amounts by resonance ionization mass spectrometry (RIMS) is a well-established routine method. Detection limits of 10⁶ to 10⁷ atoms and precise measurements of the isotopic composition have been achieved. In this work multi-step resonance ionization of plutonium atoms has been performed with tunable lasers having very different output intensities and spectral properties. In order to compare different ways for the resonance ionization of plutonium broadband pulsed dye and titanium:sapphire lasers as well as narrow-band cw-diode and titanium:sapphire lasers have been applied for a number of efficient excitation schemes. It has been shown, that for identical excitation schemes the optical isotope selectivity can be improved by using cw-lasers (bandwidths < 10 MHz) instead of pulsed lasers (bandwidths > 2 GHz). Pulsed and cw-laser systems have been used simultaneously for resonance ionization enabling direct comparisons of pulsed and continuous ionization processes. So far, a three-step, three-color laser excitation scheme has been proven to be most practical in terms of efficiency, selectivity and laser wavelengths. Alternatively a newly discovered three-step, two-color excitation scheme which includes a strong two-photon transition from an excited state into a high-lying autoionizing state yields similar ionization efficiencies. This two-photon transition was characterized with respect to saturation behavior and line width.     

RILIS applications at CERN/ISOLDE

Since 2011 the ISOLDE Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS) has comprised a dual system of three dye and three Ti:sapphire lasers capable of gap-free wavelength tuning from 210 to 950 nm. Temporal synchronization of the lasers has enabled several operating modes to be established which make optimal use of the complementary characteristics of each laser type. This flexibility of the system has presented several opportunities for additional atomic spectroscopy studies and ionization scheme development, whilst also enabling an increase in the number of operating hours for standard ion beam production. The extended capabilities of the dual-RILIS system are exemplified by the recent operational highlights. These include on-line ionization scheme development (At, Ca), measurements of ionization energies (At, Po), in-source resonance ionization spectroscopy of exotic isotopes (At, Au, Po), and the provision of a fibre-coupled narrow-linewidth Ti:sapphire beam for the on-line commissioning of the CRIS experiment (Fr).
