For more than three decades collinear laser spectroscopy has been an essential instrument in the inquiries of the atomic nucleus with the ability to detect the nuclear electromagnetism, size, and angular momentum. At the foot of the 21st century a number of innovations have emerged, such as: multiple orders of magnitude background suppression by beam cooling and bunching, wavelengths ever...

The neutron-rich Mn isotopes (Z = 25) were studied using bunched-beam collinear laser spectroscopy at ISOLDE, CERN. In this experiment, the hyperfine spectra of the 57-64Mn ground states and the isomeric states in 58,60,62Mn were measured for the first time. From these spectra the spins and g-factors could be model-independently extracted, providing valuable nuclear structure information up...
