9 Motivation: Reduction of Isobaric Contamination
Remove Ti-Foil Nonselective surface ionization in hot cavity Strong isobaric contamination might harm or prevent experiments 24/1/2013 Daniel Fink - EN-STI Students' Coffee - CERN

10 Resonance Ionization Laser Ion Source (RILIS)

12 Isobaric contamination in RILIS beams
Remove Ti-Foil Nonselective surface ionization in hot cavity Strong isobaric contamination might harm or prevent experiments 24/1/2013 Daniel Fink - EN-STI Students' Coffee - CERN

13 Isobaric contamination in RILIS beams
Remove Ti-Foil Strong increase of ions of interest Higher selectivity but isobaric contaminants remain in beam 24/1/2013 Daniel Fink - EN-STI Students' Coffee - CERN

14 Isobaric contamination in RILIS beams
high field gradient Remove Ti-Foil Deflection of surface ions by electrostatic deflection Increased energy spread of laser ions due to high extraction field gradient Ineffective mass separation and poor transport efficiency 24/1/2013 Daniel Fink - EN-STI Students' Coffee - CERN

22 Motivation: Laser Spectroscopy on Polonium
Two measurement campaigns in 2007 and 2009 at ISOLDE/CERN Mean square radii of Po-isotopes among other elements: Po invisible due to Fr contamination: Refer to Bruce’s talk T. E. Cocolios & M.E. Seliverstov 2008 Several Po-isotopes remained unstudied due to strong Fr-contamination Using LIST to suppress Fr contamination in 2012 24/1/2013 Daniel Fink - EN-STI Students' Coffee - CERN
