  4. We use beams of highly charged ions from the electron beam ion source (EBIS) , the ECR ion source and stored ions in a synchrotron ion-cooler storage ring (CRYRING). • In the ring we perform experiments with cooled stored ions • on electron-ion recombination and laser assisted excitation and recombination • on fast atomic collisions (single and multiple electron capture, ionization, recoil momentum spectroscopy) with internal target. • on laser spectroscopy, and lifetime measurements of metastable states at stored heavy ions. • With slow highly charged ions we study: • surface and cluster interactions • multiple electron transfer reactions • mass spectrometry of highly charged ions in a Penning trap

  5. Excited state Aik Metastable state Allowed transition A=108 s-1 Forbidden transition A=1 s-1 Lifetime measurements The radiative lifetime (t) is determined by the sum of the transition probabilities (Aik) for all decay channels t = S 1/ Aik Why are radiative lifetimes needed? Intensity I=NiAik

  6. 5 mm fast ion beam Laser 500 km ! A=1 s-1 A=108 s-1 Why stored ion beam? • High spectral resolution (laser) • Time-resolution and long observation time • Pure light source (isotope separation) • Ultra high vacuum

  7. passive method M obs G PM Observation of spontaneous decay E laser obs M G PM Laser Instead of the passive method we use the active laser probing method forbiddenline Probing of the meta- stable population by laser excitation + higher efficiency + high selectivity + high flexibility We gain a factor of 5000 and can reduce detector background.

  15. Radiative Recombination is an direct spontaneous process in which a continuum electron is captured with the subsequent release of a photon Recombination Overview Dielectronic Recombination is a resonant process in which a continuum electron is captured as it excites a target electron, forming a short lived intermediate state which decays by photon emission
