On behalf of the COLLAPS and CRIS collaborations at ISOLDE-CERN. \\Nuclei in the neighborhood of calcium isotopes play a key role in the
development of many-body methods and provide an important test for current
descriptions of the nuclear force.
The properties of stable nuclei in the vicinity of the two naturally
occurring doubly-magic calcium ($Z=$20) isotopes, $^{\mathrm{40}}$Ca
($N=$20) and $^{\mathrm{48}}$Ca ($N=$28), have been extensively studied, both
experimentally and theoretically. Recently, special attention has been given
to the evolution of nuclear structure in exotic neutron-rich isotopes beyond
$N=$28, where evidence of doubly-magic features have been reported at
$N=$32 [1] and $N=$34 [2].
This contribution presents the latest results obtained with laser
spectroscopy in the region. Measurements of the hyperfine structure spectra
and isotope shifts for the potassium ($Z=$19) and calcium ($Z=$20) isotopic
chains were obtained by using optical detection at COLLAPS, ISOLDE-CERN.
From these measurements, our knowledge of nuclear ground-state spins,
ground-state electromagnetic moments and changes in the root-mean-squared
charge radii has been extended up to $N=$32 [3-7].\newline
With relatively low production yields, the isotopes $^{\mathrm{51}}$K
(\textasciitilde 4000 ions/s) and$^{\mathrm{\thinspace \thinspace 52}}$Ca
(\textasciitilde 250 ions/s) are at the limit of optical detection
techniques. In order to extend laser spectroscopy studies further away from
stability, a highly sensitive experimental setup has been developed at the
COLLAPS beam line [8,9]. The current developments in this direction and the
perspectives for future experiments using collinear resonance ionization
spectroscopy (CRIS) [10,11] in the region towards $N=$34 will be
discussed.\newline
