ATOMIC PHYSICS
In close collaboration with scientists from all over the world, the groups in GSI's Atomic
Physics Division (AP) exploit the possibilities of the GSI accelerator
complex. This combination of a linear accelerator (UNILAC), heavy-ion synchrotron
(SIS), fragment
separator (FRS), and the experimental storage ring (ESR), makes it
possible to accelerate, store, and cool relativistic ion beams of every element from
hydrogen to uranium. Stable or radioactive isotopes are being investigated. The main
interest is focused upon the very highly charged heavy ions. These unique research
possibilities stimulate a broad range of interesting experiments in both atomic and
nuclear physics, as the following publications and
proposed experiments show.
