Abstract
We present a kinetic model for optical pumping in Lu and Lr ions as well as a theoretical approach to calculate the transport properties of Lu in its ground and metastable states in helium background gas. Calculations of the initial ion state populations, the field and temperature dependence of the mobilities and diffusion coefficients, and the ion arrival time distributions demonstrate that the ground- and metastable-state ions can be collected and discriminated efficiently under realistic macroscopic conditions.
