1 Non-Exponential Orbital Electron Capture Decays of Hydrogen-Like Ions N. Severijns for the CERN, Gothenburg, Darmstadt, Leuven, Valencia, Münster, Aarhus, Bratislava 2 Collaboration ~6s cooling time Fit by: dN EC /dt = N 0 λ EC exp(-λt) [1 + a cos(ωt + φ)] Schottky Mass Spectrometry signal Yu.A. Litvinov et al., Phys. Lett. B 664 (2008) 162

3 Requirements : 1. well defined t = 0 (production) 2. O(10 -10 mbar) vacuum (NEG pumps) 3. non-disturbing cooling method (evaporative cooling) 4. beam line from REX-ISOLDE to WITCH (design ongoing) 5. results for ongoing WITCH project secured Verify oscillations at ISOLDE using : REX-EBIS  produce hydrogenlike ions & WITCH  store in Penning ion trap Candidate isotopes : T 1/2 [ s ] EC/β + [ % ] yield (CaO ; cold line) 19 Ne17.250.100~ 5E6 /  C 35 Ar1.7750.073 ~ 5E7/  C
