Precision spectroscopy of atomic systems is an invaluable tool for the study of fundamental
interactions and symmetries. Recently, highly charged ions have been proposed to enable …

The bound–bound transition from the 5 d 2 6 s 2 F 2 e 3 ground state to the 5 d 6 s 2 6 p D 1
o 3 excited state in negative lanthanum has been proposed as a candidate for laser cooling …

Vacuum technology has enormous impact on human life in many aspects and fields, such as
metallurgy, material development and production, food and electronic industry …

Using a merged-beam configuration, we have performed absolute measurements for the
associative detachment reaction H-+ H→ H 2+ e-. Our energy-resolved measurements for …

Scanning transmission ion microscopy imaging was performed whilst using a delay-line
detector to record the impact position and arrival time of transmitted ions or neutrals. The …

Using a merged-beams apparatus, we have measured the associative detachment (AD)
reaction of H−+ H→ H 2+ e− for relative collision energies up to E r≤ 4.83 eV. These data …

A new experimental setup has been developed to investigate the reactions of molecular ions
and charged clusters with a variety of projectile beams. An Electrostatic Ion Beam Trap …

We demonstrate the use of high power diode laser stacks to photodetach fast hydrogen and
carbon anions and produce ground term neutral atomic beams. We achieve …

Electrostatic analyzers (ESAs) are used in electric propulsion to measure the energy per unit
charge⁄ distribution of ion and electron beams, in the downstream region of thrusters for …

Charge transfer with carbon ions has been identified as important in both magnetic fusion
plasma devices and, more recently, in solar wind interactions with comets, planets, or …
