An on-line laser ion source based on resonance photoionization in a gas cell

First results obtained with a new type of on-line laser ion source based on resonant photoionization in a buffer gas cell are presented. The main advantages of this new target ion-source system are its high efficiency, its selectivity, its short delay time, and its universality. This is demonstrated...

Description
Summary:First results obtained with a new type of on-line laser ion source based on resonant photoionization in a buffer gas cell are presented. The main advantages of this new target ion-source system are its high efficiency, its selectivity, its short delay time, and its universality. This is demonstrated with the production of an isotopically and isobarically pure beam of [sup 55]Ni ([ital T][sub 1/2][approx]200 ms).
