    Abstract

    The cooling and bunching of ion beams for collinear laser spectroscopy were discussed. An increased sensitivity in collinear laser spectroscopy experiments was achieved by the application of new on-line ion cooling and bunching techniques. The cooling of a low-energy ion beam to low emittance and low velocity spread was shown to increase the peak efficiency while bunching the beam resulted in highly efficient background suppression.
