Ac scheme 1

Notes

Efficiency: 13%

Used at: CERN, TRIUMF

Lasers used: Ti:sapphire

Used: online

Notes: Applied on-line for collections of Ac at ISOLDE. This scheme was shown to have the same ionization efficiency as the scheme from Ac-2.

Same comparison done at MEDICIS. Here, this scheme gave ~factor 2 more signal than the one from Ac-2

Efficiency taken from two Ac collections at MEDICIS in Nov/Dec 2020

Scheme

Ionization Potential: 43394.520 cm⁻¹ (NIST ASD, 2024)
