2-photon ionization and necessary laser and vacuum systems for experiments with trapped strontium ions
E. Kirilov, S. Putterman
We describe a efficient way to photoionize strontium atoms in a linear radio-frequency trap. We use a 2-photon second order process to excite the autoionization resonance (4d2 + 5p…

Comments on "Evidence for Nuclear Emissions During Acoustic Cavitation" by R.P. Taleyarkhan et al., Science volume 295,p.1868, March 8, 2002
S. J. Putterman, L. A. Crum, K. Suslick
In a paper recently published in Science, Taleyarkhan et al. claimed to observe fusion from acoustic cavitation and the associated phenomenon of sonoluminescence. Although, this is…
