Research

Accelerator based experimental atomic physics, ion-atom/molecule collisions

• Collision processes with multiply charged ions, multi-parameter coincidence, angular distribution and interference with small scattering angles, molecular explosions following capture and ionization by projectile impact
• Precision measurement of short and very short  lifetimes, branching ratios, and transition energies for few-electron systems.
