    Abstract

    Three new ionization schemes for polonium have been tested with the resonant ionization laser ion source (rilis) during the on-line production of 196Po in a UCx target at isolde. The saturation of the atomic transitions has been observed and the yields of the isotope chain 193-198,200,202,204Po have been measured. This development provides the necessary groundwork for performing in-source resonant ionization spectroscopy on the neutron-deficient polonium isotopes (Z = 84). © 2008 Elsevier B.V.
