High-resolution laser spectroscopy is an established powerful tool in the study of nuclear
shape, size and multipole moments. Measurements of the hyperfine structures and isotope …

The rapid neutron capture process (r process) is believed to be responsible for about half of
the production of the elements heavier than iron and contributes to abundances of some …

Molecular spectroscopy offers opportunities for the exploration of the fundamental laws of
nature and the search for new particle physics beyond the standard model,,–. Radioactive …

In rare cases, the removal of a single proton (Z) or neutron (N) from an atomic nucleus leads
to a dramatic shape change. These instances are crucial for understanding the components …

Collinear laser spectroscopy is performed on the nickel isotopes Ni 58-68, 70, using a time-
resolved photon counting system. From the measured isotope shifts, nuclear charge radii R …

Optics of Charged Particles, 2nd edition, describes how charged particles move in the fields
of magnetic and electrostatic dipoles, quadrupoles, higher order multipoles, and field-free …

Molecules containing short-lived, radioactive nuclei are uniquely positioned to enable a
wide range of scientific discoveries in the areas of fundamental symmetries, astrophysics …

The mean-square charge radii of Hg 207, 208 (Z= 80, N= 127, 128) have been studied for
the first time and those of Hg 202, 203, 206 (N= 122, 123, 126) remeasured by the …

Isomers close to doubly magic Ni 50 28 78 provide essential information on the shell
evolution and shape coexistence near the Z= 28 and N= 50 double shell closure. We report …

The intention of this tutorial is to introduce into the basic concepts of time‐of‐flight mass
spectrometry, beginning with the most simple single‐stage ion source with linear field‐free …
