Laser spectroscopy techniques provide nuclear-model independent access to nuclear electromagnetic moments, spins and charge radii. Advances in radioactive ion beam instrumentation and laser technologies have enabled the study of a wide range of elements and isotopes, pushing out far from the valley of stability towards the drip lines.
In this contribution, I will present experimental...
At GANIL-SPIRAL2 and LPC Caen the Super Separator Spectrometer-Low Energy Branch (S$^3$-LEB) [1] project is under development to study exotic nuclei by In-Gas Laser Ionization Spectroscopy (IGLIS) to extract ground-state properties, such as nuclear mean-square charge radii $δ
The collinear resonance ionization spectroscopy (CRIS) experiment at the ISOLDE facility at CERN specializes in performing high-sensitivity laser spectroscopy on species with production rates as low as 101-102 nuclei per second. Recently, thanks to the ability of the technique to perform both high-resolution spectroscopy at high precision and low-resolution spectroscopy with a short...
As a transuranium element with proton number $Z=96$, curium is considered as one of the “minor actinides” in spent nuclear fuel. It is produced during burn-up by a series of nuclear reactions from $^{238}$U; spent nuclear fuel contains about $20$ g/tonne. Nineteen curium isotopes from $^{233}$Cm to $^{251}$Cm are known [1], with some exhibiting long half-lives between a few days and $10^{7}$...
