Ion-lithium collision dynamics studied with an in-ring MOTReMi

Abstract

We present a novel experimental tool allowing for kinematically complete studies of break-up processes of laser-cooled atoms. This apparatus, the 'MOTReMi', is a combination of a magneto-optical trap (MOT) and a Reaction Microscope (ReMi). Operated in an ion-storage ring, the new setup enables to study the dynamics in swift ion-atom collisions on an unprecedented level of precision and detail. In first experiments on collisions with 1.5 MeV/amu O${}^{8+}$-Li the pure ionization of the valence electron as well as ionization-excitation of the lithium target has been investigated.
