International cooperative research project (ICORP)

YEBISU @ JST

Our main collaborators, along with the National Physical Laboratory, within the "Cold Trapped Ions" International cooperative research project (ICORP).

The Tokyo group has a much larger EBIT, potentially capable of 300 kV operation, and as such is complementary with our own for investigating higher Z systems.

The YEBISU facility also has an ion extraction capability, enabling investigation of the novel, nanoscale, features that can arise from the interaction of slow HCI with surfaces.

National Physical Laboratory

Our other main collaborators within the "Cold Trapped Ions" International cooperative research project (ICORP).

The NPL group is primarily responsible for the development of the laser cavity system we intend to use to measure the 2s_1/2 - 2p_1/2 interval of hydrogenic silicon.

FSU @ Tallahassee

Particle beam accelerators can also provide a source of highly charged ions, providing a so-called 'fast beam' source.

Group members have been involved in several laser resonance spectroscopy experiments with Dr. Ed Myers using the tandem accelerator facility at FSU.

UKAEA, Culham

The Culham site is home to the spherical tokamak experiments START and MAST, as well as the extremely successful Joint European Torus, JET.

EBIT is being used to assist the development of xray spectroscopy diagnostics of such plasmas.
