Ebook: Atomic Physics at Accelerators: Stored Particles and Fundamental Physics: Proceedings of the APAC 2001, held in Aarhus, Denmark, 8–13 September 2001

This volume contains the proceedings of the third Euroconference on Atomic Phys­ ics at Accelerators (APAC 2001), with the title Stored Particles and Fundamental Physics. It was held in Aarhus, Denmark, from September 8 to 13 at the Marselis Hotel located near the beach and the Marselis Woods outside Aarhus, but some of the activities took place at the Department of Physics, University of Aarhus. The conference was sponsored by the Commission of the European Union (Contract No. ERBFMMACT980469) and also by the Danish Research Foundation through ACAP (Aarhus Center for Atomic Physics). The meeting was focused on the application of storage rings for atomic physics, and there are two fairly small rings in Aarhus, ASTRID (Aarhus STorage Ring for Ions,Denmark) and ELISA (ELectrostatic Ion Storage ring, Aarhus). The research at these rings has contributed to the strong position of European Science in this field. Both rings are designed according to unique concepts. ASTRID is a dual­ purpose ring, which half the time stores electrons for the generation of low-energy synchrotron radiation. The storage of negative particles has also been a unique feature for the application of ASTRID as an ion storage ring.

The present Proceedings of the 3^rd Euroconference on Atomic Physics at Accelerators: Stored Particles and Fundamental Physics (APAC2001), which was held at University of Aarhus, Denmark, September 8-13, 2001 contains papers on recent research on atomic physics applying traps and storage rings. In particular, subjects covered are: Recombination measurements at storage rings and theory, measurements of fundamental constants, spectra and lifetimes of highly charged ions, atomic lifetimes and spectra, ionization, fragmentation and electron capture, cooling of beams in traps and storage rings, new developments in charged particle traps and storage rings, weak interactions, investigations relevant for astrophysics, clusters, biomolecules, aerosols and nanoparticles, and atomic physics with antiparticles.

Together with the proceedings of the earlier conferences in this series it gives a comprehensive overview on recent achievements of atomic physics at accelerators.

The book's intended target group is students and researchers in atomic physics and related fields.
