Ultrashort Laser-pulse Diagnostics for Detection of Ordering within an Ion beam
arXiv:acc-phys/9510001 · doi:10.1007/BF02274930
Abstract
A novel diagnostic method to detect ordering within one-dimensional ion beams in a storage ring is presented. The ions are simultaneously excited by a ultrashort pulsed laser ( ps) at two different locations along the beam and fluorescence is detected by a group of four photo-multipliers. Correlation in fluorescence signals is a firm indication that the ion beam has an ordered structure.
