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 particle forensics to cosmochemistry, RIMS has unlocked unique research opportunities for element-selective microanalysis. 

Each instrument has been built with its unique set of capabilities and prospective applications. It is now time for RIMS users and collaborators to come together, share best practices, discuss challenges, and set collaborative goals moving forward. 

Themes

• Instrument capabilities 
• Laser design/performance
• RIS, scheme development, atomic spectroscopy
• Sample analysis and standards
