Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Physics: Charged Particles

by F. B. Dunning (Editor), Randall G. Hulet (Editor)

Overview

With this volume, Methods of Experimental Physics becomes Experimental Methods in the Physical Sciences, a name change which reflects the evolution of todays science. This volume is the first of three which will provide a comprehensive treatment of the key experimental methods of atomic, molecular, and optical physics; the three volumes as a set will form an excellent experimental handbook for the field. The wide availability of tunable lasers in the pastseveral years has revolutionized the field and lead to the introduction of many new experimental methods that are covered in these volumes. Traditional methods are also included to ensure that the volumes will be a complete reference source for the field.

Editorial Reviews

Drawing on the multidisciplinary nature of science the 18 contributors to the volume extend their discussions into the areas of applied physics and technology opposed to concentrating solely on theory and methodologies. The subject matter examined includes spin- polarized electron sources, positron and positronium sources, low- charge-state positive-ion beams, highly charged ions, electron and ion optics, swarm techniques, accelerator-based atomic physics, ion traps, ultra-high-resolution mass spectroscopy in penning traps, and signal enhancement.
