CERN summer school 2015-report

As summer student of the 2015 CERN summer school programme, I was enlisted to work at the ISOLDE-CERN nuclear research facility as a member of the experimental group CRIS (collinear resonance ionisation spectroscopy). The experimental set up used at CRIS is a high resolution, efficiency and selectivity laser spectroscopy experiment designed to scan the hyperfine structure of low yield very exotic nuclei with very low background, and therefore acquiring nuclear electromagnetic moment data in the region far from stability. This data is of vital importance to nuclear theories trying to capture physics in these exotic nuclei. My work consisted of updating certain parts of the beam-line
