On the path to ion-based pump-probe experiments: Generation of 18 picosecond keV Ne${}^{+}$ ion pulses from a cooled supersonic gas beam

L. Kalkhoff, A. Golombek, M. Schleberger +3

The dynamics triggered by the impact of an ion onto a solid surface has been explored mainly by theoretical modeling or computer simulation to date. Results indicate that the micro…
