Abstract

Collinear laser spectroscopy is one of the essential tools for nuclear-structure studies. It allows nuclear electromagnetic properties of ground and isomeric states to be extracted with high experimental precision. Radioactive-beam facilities worldwide strive to introduce such capabilities or to improve existing ones. Here we present the implementation of collinear laser spectroscopy at the ALTO research laboratory, along with data from successful off-line commissioning using sodium beam. The instrumental constituents are discussed with emphasis on simple technical solutions and maximized use of standard equipment. Potential future applications are outlined.
