At the institute for physics of the university of Mainz an ion source for on-line applications is developed, which combines resonant laser ionization of atoms with a radiofrequency quadrupole ion trap (RFQ). In the setup the atomization and ionization regions are separated by using an ion repelling electrode to prevent unwanted surface ions and to significantly increase the isobaric selectivity. The laser ions are stored in the trap, cooled with buffer gas and are released in a well controlled bunch of low spatial and temporal emittance. Simulation studies are performed on the ionization and trapping conditions, showing high efficiency for the individual processes of trapping, cooling and extraction of the ions. Initial installation and testing of the device is carried out at the Mainz RISIKO mass separator. Source and trap design, the simulation studies and first measurements on laser ionization on stable isotopes will be discussed.
