Atomic lifetime measurements with electron beam ion traps

Electron beam ion sources and traps „invited..

The electron beam method of stepwise ionization to highest charge states has found applications in electron beam ion sources ~EBISs! for accelerators and atomic physics collision experiments as well as in electron beam ion traps ~EBITs! for x-ray and mass spectroscopy. A dense and almost monoenergetic electron beam provides a unique tool for ionization, because radiative recombination by slow e...

study many atomic phenomena Atomic physics in ion traps

UNDER normal conditions, an atom hurtles from place to traps. In this article we highlight how researchers have place. It can cross a room in mere milliseconds, and colcreated exotic quantum states of an atom’s motion, lides with other particles once every nanosecond or so. investigated the possibility of quantum computing, This motion, which is both random and unlimited in studied the interact...

Measurements of Photon Beam Flattening Filter Using an Anisotropic Analytical Algorithm and Electron Beam Employing Electron Monte Carlo

  Introduction: This study aimed to report the measurement of photon and electron beams to configure the Analytical Anisotropic Algorithm and Electron Monte Carlo used in clinical treatment. Material and Methods: All measurements were performed in a large water phantom using a 3-dimensional scanning system (PTW, Germany). ...

Studies of highly charged iron ions using electron beam ion traps for interpreting astrophysical spectra

For over a decade, the x-ray astrophysics community has enjoyed a fruitful epoch of discovery largely as a result of the successful launch and operation of the high resolution, high sensitivity spectrometers on board the Chandra, XMM-Newton and Suzaku x-ray observatories. With the launch of the x-ray calorimeter spectrometer on the Astro-H x-ray observatory in 2014, the diagnostic power of high...
