| contents | We report first results obtained during the commissioning of the Laser Resonance Chromatography (LRC) apparatus, which is conceived to enable atomic structure investigations in the region of the heaviest elements beyond nobelium. In our studies we first established optimum conditions for the operation of the different components of the setup, including the radio-frequency quadrupole ion buncher and the cryogenic drift tube, which was operated with helium buffer gas at relatively low electric fields. We used laser ablated hafnium, lutetium, and ytterbium cations to assess the chromatography performance of the drift tube at a gas temperature of $295$K. Arrival time distributions of singly charged lutetium revealed two distinct ion mobilities of this ion in the ground and metastable state in helium with a relative difference of about $19$%. By using $^{219}$Rn ions from a $^{223}$Ra recoil source the overall efficiency of the apparatus is found to be $(0.6\pm0.1)$%. The findings help to establish LRC on lutetium, which is the lighter chemical homolog of lawrencium. |
