摘要
The determination of the electron neutrino mass by calorimetric measurement of the Ho-163 electron capture spectrum requires ultra-pure samples. Several collaborations, like ECHo or HOLMES, intend to employ microcalorimeters into which Ho-163 is implanted as an ion beam. This makes a selective arid additionally very efficient ion source for holmium mandatory. For this purpose, laser resonance ionization of stable holmium Ho-165 was studied, using a three step excitation scheme driven by pulsed Ti:sapphire lasers. Five measurements with sample sizes of 1014 and 1015 atoms were performed for the efficiency investigation. In average, an excellent ionization efficiency of 32(5) % could be shown, demonstrating the suitability for ion beam implantation. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
