Development of the RILIS research laboratory at ISOLDE

A research laboratory dedicated to development of the Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source at ISOLDE facility is being established. The RILIS laboratory takes over following activities: (i) upgrade and development of the RILIS laser setup with the implementation of solid state lasers; (ii) resonance ionization spectroscopy for development of new ionization schemes; (iii) research on improvement of RILIS selectivity. The main objectives and proposed programs for each activity are presented in this letter of intent to INTC.
