title: Two-step laser ionization schemes for in-gas laser ionization and spectroscopy of radioactive isotopes.
abstract: The in-gas laser ionization and spectroscopy technique has been developed at the Leuven isotope separator on-line facility for the production and in-source laser spectroscopy studies of short-lived radioactive isotopes. In this article, results from a study to identify efficient optical schemes for the two-step resonance laser ionization of 18 elements are presented.
