The efficient and rapid production of a high-quality, pure beam of highly charged ions is at the heart of any radioactive ion beam facility. Whether an electron cyclotron resonance ion source (ECRIS) or an electron beam ion source/trap (EBIS/T) is used to produce these highly charged ions, their operating characteristics will set the boundaries on the range of experiments which can be...

The beta-decay properties of nuclei with neutron magic number of N=126, which are believed to act as progenitors in the rapid neutron capture process (r-process) path forming the third peak (A~195) in the observed r-abundance element distribution, are considered critical for understanding the production of heavy elements such as gold and platinum at astrophysical sites. As a first step of our...

Among all known nuclear isotopes, 229Th possesses the lowest nuclear excitation, revealing an energy of just 7.6 eV above the ground state. This low energy is equivalent to a wavelength of the corresponding gamma-ray of about 160 nm, which is set in the VUV region and conceptually allows for the application of laser-spectroscopic methods to the nucleus. The excited state is predicted to be...

The Isotope Mass Separation OnLine (ISOL) has been developed for over fifty years to study short lived radioisotopes. Since then the technique has diversified and many different facilities have been constructed, with post-accelerators used for nuclear structure studies. In parallel, the field of superheavy element research has progressed with the synthesis and investigation of more than 15 new...
