Speakers:

  • [Keynote lecture] Prof. Dr. Klaus Wendt (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, Germany)
    “Laser resonance ionization mass spectrometry in isotope physics applications- balancing selectivity against sensitivity and vice versa”
    Abstract: Combining historic atomic physics with state-of-the-art quantum physics technologies, the implementation of laser spectroscopy into mass spectrometry has provided deep insights into the nature of matter by giving access to individual elements and their isotopes almost entirely free of interferences and background. Investigations on stable and radioactive isotopes of numerous elements of interest all along the Periodic Table give access for a vast variety of research fields and important applications. This includes analysis and spectroscopy on the rarest and shortest-lived species too. As will be discussed, the use of resonant laser light for element- and isotope-selective ionization in this way not only opens up new perspectives in mass spectrometry and analytics, but represents an independent research tool for precision, atomic and nuclear structure physics by itself.
  • [Invited talk] Dr. Momo Mukai (RIKEN/KEK, Japan)
