The investigation of the 1s HFS provides a good possibility for testing QED
effects in a combination of a strong electric and magnetic field. Here, we
report about the laserspectroscopic measurements of the ground state hyper
fine splitting in Pb-207(81+). TO handle this Mi-transition in the infrared
optical regime with its long lifetime, we developed a new detection techni
que using a bunched ion beam. For the observation of fluorescence light, a
new mirror system is adapted to the emission characteristics from an ion be
am at relativistic velocities.
