U.S.-Mexico Collaborative Research: Alignment Measured Through Fluorescence Detection

该奖项将支持中佛罗里达大学的C. Denise Caldwell教授与墨西哥国立自治大学（UNAM）的J. Jimenez-Mier教授的研究合作。研究人员打算通过衰减荧光的角分布来测量光子的排列。实验将在威斯康星大学同步辐射中心进行，使用专门为进行此类实验而建造的设备。来自墨西哥的研究者将参与实验工作，他将负责所有数据分析和分析解释。利用荧光分析测量光离子的排列是一种相对较新的技术，可用于研究电子-电子相关。由于它对这种相互作用的影响的敏感性，它有可能成为一种强大的工具，特别是对于阈值分析。除了将该技术应用于各种系统的研究之外，研究人员还将尝试根据现有理论解释其测量结果。

This award will support Professor C. Denise Caldwell of the University of Central Florida in a research collaboration with Professor J. Jimenez-Mier of the Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM). The investigators intend to measure the alignment of photoions as determined through the angular distribution of decay fluorescence. The experiments will be performed at the University of Wisconsin Synchrotron Radiation Center with an apparatus that has been specifically constructed for performing this type of experiment. The experimental effort will be joined by the investigator from Mexico, who will be responsible for all data analysis and analytic interpretation. Measurement of alignment of photoions by fluorescence analysis is a relative newcomer to the group of techniques that are available for study of electron-electron correlation. Due to its sensitivity to effects of this interaction, it has the potential of becoming a powerful tool, especially for analysis at thresholds. In addition to the application of this technique to the study of various systems, the investigators will try to interpret its measurements in terms of existing theories.
