The ILIAS setup (Ion Laser InterAction Setup) at the University of Vienna provides mass separated beams of negative ions with energies up to 30~keV. It was constructed to study Laser photodetachment of negative ions and evaluate its applicability for selective isobar suppression in mass spectrometry. The negative ions are produced in a Middleton type cesium sputter ion source, mass selected and stopped in a gas-filled radio frequency quadrupole cooler where they can be overlapped with a strong continuous wave Laser beam. By careful selection of the photon energy only unwanted isobars are neutralized while the isobar of interest remain as ions.
After a description of the setup first photodetachment experiments of atomic and molecular ions with the RFQ cooler are presented. Furthermore, a possible scheme for application of this new method to a 3~MV AMS facility will be described.
