Description
TSR@ISOLDE will provide new possibilities for atomic physics
experiments with highly charged atomic ions addressing atomic
structure (atomic lifetimes, spectroscopy with lasers and
ultra-cold electron beams) and atomic collision processes
(electron-ion recombination, electron-ion impact ionization). This
research is motivated by fundamental physics questions and by
applications in astrophysics and plasma physics.
We will present selected illustrative examples from the ongoing
atomic physics research program at TSR and point out future
directions at TSR@ISOLDE in view of the availability of very high
ion charge states and of ions with exotic nuclei. In particular we
will discuss measurements of hyperfine-induced and two-photon
transitions in highly charged ions and atomic-collision processes
that are relevant for the understanding of super-nova explosions
and fusion plasmas.
