LIAF: Laboratory for Laser Induced Atomic Fluorescence and ionization.
What are the limits of nuclear existence? How do simple patterns emerge in complex nuclei? Are there new forms of structure far from stability? These are some of the open questions that our group aims to decipher. For that, we will develop high-precision and high-sensitivity laser spectroscopy techniques to push the study of exotic nuclei far from the beta-stability line.
Our research is rooted in the well-stablished technique of collinear laser spectroscopy and involves measuring unique nuclear properties such as nuclear spins, electromagnetic moments, and charge radii from hyperfine structure and isotope shifts in short-lived radioactive nuclei. Our lofty goal is to shed light on the origin of nuclear phenomena and understand the characteristics of nuclear matter at the very edges of its existence.
