Electron impact ionisation and excitation of Laser prepared atomic targets

John Chidowerem Agomuo, I. Williams, H. W. van der Hart +2 more

A review of current work at Manchester is given, with emphasis on low energy electron impact ionization & excitation experiments from laser-prepared targets. Three different methods are considered: super-elastic scattering from targets prepared by laser radiation in an optical enhancement cavity, (e,2e) studies of laser-aligned atoms, and electron impact ionization studies from laser cooled atoms in a new type of atom trap - the AC-MOT. The status of each experimental programme is detailed, and new data presented. Future directions and techniques are then discussed.

Design and characterization of an atomic beam source with narrow angular divergence for alkali-earth targets

Andrew James Murray, Martyn Hussey, Michael Needham

A new atomic beam source for use in laser-based experiments is described and characterized. The physically collimated source which has been tested using calcium, produces an atomic beam with low angular divergence and narrow transverse Doppler profile, as measured using fluorescence techniques with a near resonant laser beam. The low angular divergence of the source is essential for new experiments which study super-elastic scattering of electrons from laser prepared targets within a magnetic field, since the atomic beam must pass through a narrow gap between the coil windings. The beam density for calcium is calculated to be 2.8 × 109 atoms cm-3 when the source is operated at a temperature of 1090 K. This is sufficient to produce good electron energy loss and super-elastic scattering signals, while ensuring negligible radiation trapping within the atomic beam. © 2006 IOP Publishing Ltd.
