Status of GISELE: a resonant ionization laser ion source for the production of radioactive ions at GANIL

Laser ion sources are in use extensively to ionize the nuclear reaction products at many on-line radioactive ion beam facilities. They have proven to be reliable and to combine good production efficiencies with chemical selectivity. A Laser ion source is currently under development for the SPIRAL2 project at GANIL. A status update of this project called GISELE is presented.
