Attosecond physics with ultra cold metastable neon

这项研究将产生关于原子在强光场中如何行为的新知识。在这些系统中可以观察到的现象之一是产生极紫外线辐射。这种辐射在精密光谱学和结构生物学等不同领域都有潜在的应用。该研究将使用最近ARC资助的最先进的短脉冲激光设备，超冷原子阱技术，并将为高学位学生提供极好的研究培训机会。该研究项目的成果将使澳大利亚研究人员能够为仍处于起步阶段的阿秒科学这一令人兴奋的领域做出重大贡献。

This research will generate new knowledge about how atoms behave when they are placed in strong optical fields. One of the phenomena which can be observed in these systems is the production of extreme ultraviolet radiation. This radiation has potential applications in areas as diverse as precision spectroscopy and structural biology. The research will use the recently ARC funded, state-of-the-art short pulse laser facility, ultra-cold atom trap technology and will provide excellent research training opportunities for higher degree students. The outcomes of the research project will enable Australian researchers to make significant contributions to the exciting field of attosecond science which is still in its infancy.
