Abstract
We have been developing a new nuclear laser spectroscopic method “OROCHI” for determining spins and moments of exotic RIs. It is the method based on the combination of superfluid helium as a stopper of radioactive isotope (RI) beam and in situ laser spectroscopy of RI atoms. This unique method will enable us to measure nuclear spins and electromagnetic moments of extremely low yield RI (less than 1 particle per second). For applying this method to stable Ag and Au isotopes, we have measured optical absorption spectra of these elements. Optical pumping of those atoms has also been attempted with pumping lasers tuned to the measured absorption lines. Details of this laser spectroscopy method in He II “OROCHI” and the development for applying OROCHI to Ag and Au atoms are presented.
