Spectroscopy and Collisions of Stored, Cold, Highly Charged Ions

该项目是正在进行的利用激光光谱学测量选定的多电荷离子基项内的磁偶极跃迁波长的工作的继续。这项研究的基本目标是确定高电荷态离子束缚态电子的g因子，以及高Z单电子离子超精细结构的精密激光测量。目前的目标是对中间Z离子进行精细结构测量，使用激光诱导潘宁离子陷阱中在低温下凝聚到有序状态的离子的跃迁。这项研究是与劳伦斯伯克利国家实验室和劳伦斯利弗莫尔国家实验室的科学家合作完成的。理论支持是通过与德克萨斯大学泛美分校的一名原子结构理论家合作提供的，该大学是一所本科院校。

This project is a continuation of work in progress to measure, using laser spectroscopy, magnetic dipole transition wavelengths within the ground terms of selected multiply-charged ions. The basic goals of the research are determination of the g-factor of an electron in a bound state of a highly charged ion, and precision laser measurement of the hyperfine structure of a high-Z one-electron ion. Immediate goals are fine-structure measurements on intermediate-Z ions, using a laser beam to induce the transitions in ions condensed to an ordered state at low temperature in a Penning ion trap. The research is done in collaboration with scientists from the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Theoretical support is provided through a collaboration with an atomic structure theorist at the University of Texas, Pan American, an undergraduate institution.
