Probes for Nuclear Processes

To “see” an object, the wavelength l of the light used must be shorter than the dimensions d of the object. (DeBroglie: p=ħk=ħ2p/ )lRutherford’s scattering experimentsdNucleus~ few 10-15 m

Need light of wave length l 1 fm, or an energy

Ionization Process

1. e- impact (gaseous ionization)

• hot cathode arc• discharge in axial magnetic field

(duo-plasmatron)• electron oscillation discharge

(PIG)• radio-frequency electrode-less

discharge (ECR)• electron beam induced discharge

(EBIS)
