Abstract
We report on the progress of the collinear laser spectroscopy programme at the IGISOL isotope separator in Jyvaskyla. The sensitivity of the photon-io n coincidence tecnique has been sufficient to measure isotope shifts and hy perfine structures of light hafnium isotopes produced in Lu-175(p,xn) react ions. A gas-filled RF quadrupole has recently been installed in the beamlin e to reduce the energy spread and emittance of the ion beam. It is expected to increase the sensitivity of the laser technique by at least an order of magnitude, allowing measurements on a number of high-spin isomers in the h afnium chain.
