Abstract

The ability of optical pumping to produce nuclear orientation and the advent of single frequency tunable dye lasers has brought about a new interesting area of study, Laser Induced Nuclear Orientation (LINO). The impact of LINO on the nuclear structure studies of short lived nuclei along with a discussion on various relaxation mechanisms involved are presented. As an example, recent experimental results on85mRb (T1/2=1.0 μs) are given in detail. Possible application of LINO to151Eu discussed.
