Clarity of image Visibility of physical phenomena Evaluation (1)
Evaluation (2) • Our tool has been used by physicists: • FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics, Amsterdam • The Institute for Energy Problems of Chemical Physics, Moscow • With our tool a number of discoveries were made: • Dephasing and phase-locking are strongly influenced by the density of the ions in the trap • Excitation profile has great influence on the instrument detection accuracy and resolution
Conclusions • The standard visualization tools do not suffice: • Image cluttering • Phenomena difficult to discern • Our visualization tools explicitly show important phenomena • Users apply this tool to do science
