LISA ITN
The LISA (Laser Ionisation and Spectroscopy of Actinides) consortium aims to train a new generation of experts in radioactive ion beam research and applications, laser spectroscopy, scientific laser technologies and atomic theorists whilst they work towards the goal of vastly improving our understanding of the atomic and nuclear properties of the chemical elements known as the actinides (atomic number Z ≥ 89).
Whilst this research is an essential prerequisite for unravelling the structure of the superheavy elements at the end of Mendeleev’s table, the value of this activity extends far beyond the fields of fundamental atomic and nuclear physics.
In-depth knowledge of the nuclear properties of an isotope and the atomic properties of the element, is a precursor for understanding their practical applications and also crucial to their identification and handling. Immediate valorization of these findings will be sought out in the fields of radioecology and nuclear medicine.

LISA Final Conference, 1-4 September 2024
As the LISA project was coming to an end, this conference held at CERN gave the opportunity to showcase the work of the 15 early stage researchers (ESR) recruited. Invited speakers from a variety of topics also broadened the horizon: A graduation ceremony was held at the end of the Conference for the ESRs and…

RIMS Workshop
Darcy van Eerten ( ESR12) led the whole organization of the RIMS workshop within the frame of the LISA-4-Society actions. Over the past decade, a small set of laboratories have been working on the development of resonance ionization mass spectrometry (RIMS) instruments for the purpose of element-selective isotope analysis without prior chemical separation. From hot…
