A new window on the atomic nucleus through high-precision atomic spectroscopy techniques. KU Leuven
This project will extend the precision frontier for measurements of the
atomic structure of radioactive nuclei by a factor of 1000 compared to
the current state-of-the art, with the aim of improving our
understanding of the motion and distribution of nucleons in
radioactive atomic nuclei. By using high-precision quantum optics
methods at radioactive beam facilities, combining lasers, ion traps
and radiofrequency fields, new ...
