Abstract:
For several decades bound-state quantum electrodynamics has been tested
successfully by laser spectroscopy experiments on hydrogen. These...
Cancer can be treated by radiation therapy, which means that the tumor is destroyed by irradiating it with photons or hadrons (protons or heavier nuclei). In hadron therapy, the organs surrounding the tumor receive a smaller dose than if the treatment is done by photons; however, to plan such a treatment the energy loss of hadrons in the surrounding tissue has to be known precisely. Usually...
Molecular hydrogen, including its radioactive tritium-containing isotopologues, is a testing ground for quantum calculation in molecules. High precision coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) measurements were performed on the Q-branch fundamental vibrational splittings of heavier tritium-containing isotopologues, T$_{2}$ and DT with an uncertainty < 0.0004 cm$^{-1}$, a 250-fold...
The current status of tests of quantum electrodynamics with heavy ions is reviewed. The theoretical predictions for the Lamb shift and the hyperfine splitting in heavy ions are compared with available experimental data. Recent achievements and future prospects in studies of the g factor with highly charged ions are also reported. These studies can provide precise determination of fundamental...
In recent years, there has been a rapidly growing interest in ultracold hybrid atomic-ion systems. It is caused by new opportunities opening here for modeling various quantum system and processes with controllable properties. Particularly, in the paper of Melezhik and Negretti [1] the confinement-induced resonances (CIRs) in ultracold hybrid atom-ion systems were predicted. The prediction was...
