Coulomb Explosion Imaging and Adaptive Control of Molecular Dynamics

该实验研究计划利用超宽光谱带宽，脉冲整形和自适应反馈的强激光场的融合，为量子水平上的多粒子动力学的探索，操纵和工程提供几乎无限的可能性。该计划涉及一系列实验，以跟踪系统的瞬态，并在与内部原子运动相称的时间尺度上进行库仑爆炸成像，同时控制分支比，分子几何形状和基本振荡模式之间的能量转移。该计划的更广泛的影响涉及研究生和本科生的培训，以及吸引代表性不足的群体进入该计划和应用程序的重大努力，以检测微量元素在大气中的小浓度。

This experimental research program takes advantage of the confluence of intense laser fields of ultra-wide spectral bandwidth, pulse shaping and adaptive feedback, to provide nearly limitless possibilities for exploration, manipulation and engineering of many-particle dynamics at the quantum level. The program involves a series of experiments to follow transient states of systems with Coulomb explosion imaging on a time scale commensurate with internal atomic motion while executing control over branching ratios, molecular geometries and energy transfer between fundamental modes of oscillation. The broader impact of the program involves graduate and undergraduate training as well as significant efforts to attract underrepresented groups into the program and applications to the detection of small concentrations of trace elements in the atmosphere.
