About the course

The experimental atomic, molecular and optical physics group is involved in a diverse program that investigates the interaction of highly-charged ions with various target media. The ions are created as beams by several ion sources and accelerators located in the J. R. Macdonald Laboratory for atomic physics. The ion beams used in the experiments have a well-defined charge and energy and are thus ideally suited to investigating the behavior of collisions under a variety of well-defined conditions. Single- and multi-electron atomic and molecular processes are investigated by observing the final ionic species and their decay products. The targets in these collisions consist of ground state and laserexcited atoms and molecules, as well as atomic and molecular ion beams. Many measurements are precise enough to provide information about the specific quantum mechanical states involved in the reaction. The results of these observations are compared to the theoretical predictions made by the Kansas-State theory group as well as by theorists elsewhere. The interplay between theorists and experimentalists often leads to a better understanding of the physics and in some cases suggests new phenomena, experimental methods, or improved calculation methods. The combination of strong groups in both theory and experiment within the same department makes Kansas State one of the leading atomic physics groups in the world. Because of this, we have attracted researchers from around the world to come to Kansas State to carry out their experiments. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
