Excellent- More about Applied Laser Spectroscopy for Nuclear Physics: Isotope Shifts in the Mercury Isotopic Chain and Laser Ion Source Development
This thesis explores two distinct applications of laser spectroscopy: the study of nuclear ground state properties and element selective radioactive ion beam production. It also presents an investigation into isotope shifts in the mercury isotopic chain and the development of a mercury "ionization scheme" and the coupling of the RILIS with an arc discharge ion source. Laser spectroscopy has become a powerful tool for nuclear physics, and the RILIS at CERN is a prime example.

This thesis delves into two distinct applications of laser spectroscopy: the study of nuclear ground state properties and the production of element-selective radioactive ion beams. Additionally, it presents an investigation into isotope shifts in the mercury isotopic chain. The Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS) advancements, along with an RILIS ionization scheme that enabled the generation of laser-ionized ion beams of chromium, germanium, radium, and tellurium at the Isotope Mass Separator On-Line (ISOLDE) facility, are extensively detailed.
A remarkable synergy of laser spectroscopy, decay spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry has unequivocally demonstrated the cessation of the extreme shape staggering initially observed in the 1970s. This breakthrough has unveiled a distinctive kink at the crossing of the N=126 shell closure. To facilitate this experiment, a series of RILIS developments were necessary, including the development of a mercury "ionization scheme" and the coupling of the RILIS with an arc discharge ion source.
Since its inception, laser spectroscopy has emerged as a formidable tool in nuclear physics, with the Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS) at the ISOLDE facility at CERN serving as a prime example. This thesis highlights significant advancements in this field, providing a unique and insightful resource.
