It reports the successful construction of a novel decay spectroscopy apparatus that can operate at pressures below 1 x 10 -9 mbar. The method is demonstrated by separating the nuclear ground and isomeric states of 204Fr and performing alpha-decay spectroscopy. An equivalent mass spectrometer would require 4.6 million times as much resolution to achieve the same result. This work unambiguously confirms the existence of a second isomeric state in 204Fr. The author also demonstrates the effectiveness of this method for laser spectroscopy and identification of hyperfine-structure components with energy tagging. This method was successfully used in 202Fr to identify ground and isomeric states. The measurement of 202Fr reported in this thesis demonstrates a factor of 100 improvement in sensitivity compared to state-of-the-art fluorescence techniques. The work reported in this thesis won the author the IOP Nuclear Physics Group Early Career Prize.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kara Marie Lynch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3319361384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783319361383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/10\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 131\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.48lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.32d","brand":"Kara Marie Lynch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47425445036287,"sku":"9783319361383","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f1b4e32c-c59a-4e59-810d-22b9a968112b.jpg?v=1761539270","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/laser-assisted-nuclear-decay-spectroscopy-kara-marie-lynch-9783319361383","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
