High-precision measurements of the hyperfine structure of cobalt ions in the deep ultraviolet range.

High-precision hyperfine structure measurements were performed on stable, singly-charged [Formula: see text]Co ions at the IGISOL facility in Jyväskylä, Finland using the collinear laser spectroscopy technique. A newly installed light collection setup enabled the study of transitions in the 230 nm wavelength range from low-lying states below 6000 cm[Formula: see text]. We report a 100-fold improvement on the precision of the hyperfine A parameters, and furthermore present newly measured hyperfine B paramaters.
