Atomic Physics at GSI: Present and Future

Friday, October 31, 2003, 16:00
WHGA Auditorium

Prof. J. Kluge, GSI Darmstadt & Univ. Heidelberg

Abstract:
Atomic physics plays an important role at heavy-ion accelerator or radioactive beam facilities such as GSI: The properties of highly-charged ions and of their extremely large electromagnetic fields can be investigated up to U92+; nuclear ground state properties can be determined with high precision and in a model-independent way; finally, atomic physics techniques can be used to improve the performance of heavy-ion beams. The talk will give an overview on recent results and an outlook to the opportunities for atomic physics opened up by the Future GSI Heavy Ion and Antiproton Facility.
