The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

Collinear laser-beam/ion-beam spectroscopy provides a collision-free environment in which to study atomic and molecular ions. Ion-beam spectroscopy has particular advantages over other methods: spectra are relatively simple due to mass selection; kinematics allow sub-Doppler resolution of the whole velocity distribution; and the Doppler effect can be used to tune ions into resonance with fixed frequency light sources. We consider methods by which spectra have been obtained and review important results of ion-beam spectroscopy in fields from nuclear physics to astrophysical chemistry.
