The atomic structure of the heaviest elements allows to investigate relativistic effects and their description in modern theories. However, beyond the element fermium with a charge number Z=100, detailed atomic spectroscopy, even with the most sensitive laser methods, is hampered by their low production rates in nuclear fusion reactions. At present no experimental information on atomic levels is available for these elements. In our experiments [H. Backe et al., Eur. Phys. J. D 45 (2007) 99] behind the velocity filter SHIP at the GSI, we employ the radiation detected laser resonance ionization technique to search for the predicted 5f147s7p 1P1 level in 254No (Z=102). In a first 54 h experiment, the evaporation temperature of nobelium was determined and the atomic level search was started. In this talk, a brief status report on these activities will be given.
