Ac scheme 2
Notes
Used at: CERN
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-1
Same comparison done at MEDICIS. Here, this scheme gave ~factor 2 less signal than the one from Ac-1
Scheme
Ionization Potential: 43394.520 cm⁻¹ (NIST ASD, 2024)
Lasers used: Ti:Sa
