Abstract
Collinear laser spectroscopy (CLS) provides fast, sensitive and accurate means for the determination of nuclear ground state properties via optical isotope shift and hyperfine structure measurements. Recent developments at COLLAPS, the CLS setup at ISOLDE, are summarized. This includes the use of the ISCOOL cooler and buncher for studies on gallium and copper isotopes and frequency-comb-based CLS with quasi-simultaneous collinear and anticollinear measurements on beryllium isotopes.
