Laser spectroscopy of radioactive molecules for future searches of new physics KU Leuven
The systematic study of the properties of atomic nuclei with extreme numbers of protons and neutrons has been the focus of nuclear physics for decades. In typical low-energy nuclear physics experiments, the relevant nuclear structure observables are extracted with high precision from the measured energy levels of the atomic system. Recently, the laser-spectroscopic study of radioactive molecules, instead of atoms, that contain the nucleus of ...
