Abstract
Precision optical spectroscopy of radioactive Be isotopes produced in projectile fragmentation has been performed for the first time at the prototype SLOWRI facility of RIKEN RI-Beam Factory. The ground state hyperfine constants of 7Be+ and 11Be+ were determined with relative accuracies of 6 × 10−7 and 3 × 10−8, respectively, by laser-microwave double resonance spectroscopy of laser-cooled ions in a trap. The optical transition energies from the ground S-state to the excited P-state of Be isotope ions were also measured to determine the nuclear charge radii from the isotope shifts. Development of the universal slow RI-beam facility—SLOWRI—based on the rf-carpet ion guide technique is progressing at RIKEN RI-beam factory. An additional capability of providing parasitic slow RI-beams from the projectile fragment separator BigRIPS is also discussed.
