Atomic Physics with highly charged Ions and X-Rays
Chair holder: Prof. Dr. Thomas Stöhlker
The current research program focuses on the investigation of hard X-ray radiation from charged
particle collisions or photon-matter interactions.
Our special interest lies on the study of simple atomic systems in the widely unexplored domain of
heavy high-Z ions in order to test and to advance our basic knowledge about the physics of strong
fields. These investigations are complemented by the studies of processes which appear in
high-intensity laser fields or at synchrotron facilities.

Within our experimental campaigns various X-ray detection systems such as standard X-ray
detectors, 2D position-sensitive detectors, crystal spectrometers, X-ray CCDs and
micro-calorimeters are used.
Our research group is part of the Institute for Optics and Quantum Electronics (IOQ) and the
Helmholtz Institute Jena . Within the FAIR project we are part of the collaborations Stored Particle
Atomic Physics Research Collaboration (SPARC) and Facility for Low-Energy Antiproton and Ion
Research (FLAIR).
Current projects
• HILITE - A Penning trap for experiments on trapped ions with intense laser pulses
• High-Energy Ion Detectors for the Fit-FISIC Collaboration
• A Cryogenic Current Comparator for beam diagnostics in accelerators and storage rings
Closed projects
• FOCAL - X-Ray Spectroscopy for QED in Strong Fields
• Polarization measurements of elastically scattered hard X-rays
