Abstract

In the search of efficient laser resonance ionization schemes and optimal source parameters, offline laser ion source development is of importance for successful online radioactive beam delivery. An overview and update on recent TRIUMF’s resonance ionization laser ion sources (TRILIS) offline developments is presented. This includes titanium-sapphire (Ti:Sa) laser development and the investigation of the laser ionization efficiency dependence on source temperature and laser polarization.
