Low Energy (AMO) Physics Using Storage Rings
Small, low energy storage rings have been used for atomic and molecular
physics for the past decade or so.
This talk will give an overview of two such rings, ASTRID in Aarhus, Denmark,
and TSR in Heidelberg,
Germany, and will describe some of the experiments that are being done
there. In particular, ASTRID can
be used with electrons as well as heavy ions, and when so used generates
synchrotron radiation in the UV
particularly well suited for atomic physics experiments.
COFFEE WILL BE AVAILABLE PRIOR TO THE COLLOQUIUM
