Laser Ion Source Development at HRIBF
Abstract
This report describes the efforts made to develop a resonant-ionization laser ion source based on tunable Ti:Sapphire lasers for nuclear physics and astrophysics research at HRIBF. Three Ti:Sapphire lasers have been upgraded with individual pump lasers to eliminate laser power losses due to synchronization delays. Ionization schemes for 14 elements have been obtained. Off-line studies show that the overall efficiency of the laser ion source can be as high as 40%. TaC surface coatings have been investigated for minimizing surface and bulk trapping of the atoms of interest.
