High-sensitivity laser spectroscopy with atoms from a cooled helium jet
Abstract
A cryogenic He-jet system which efficiently transports radioactive atoms produced on line, at the tandem linac accelerator away from the production region and forms them into a cool atomic beam was developed. This atomic beam is probed with high sensitivity laser spectroscopy using the photon burst method. The sizes, shapes, and magnetic moments of short lived nuclei through their atomic hyperfine structure are determined. Preliminary measurements with the He-jet system and the adaption of the photon burst method to this new geometry are described.
