Ion traps allow researchers to control the position and movement of charged particles with exquisite precision, and provide a powerful way to study many atomic phenomena.

We have studied laser collimation of a chromium atomic beam using a transverse polarization gradient cooling scheme. We present detailed measurements of the angular distribution of atoms on the beam axis, over a broad range of laser intensities and

The total energies of atoms and with atomic number Ζ from 1 to 92 and singly-charge cations with Ζ from 2 to 92 have been calculated to an accuracy of 1 υHartree within four variants of the Kohn-Sham local-density approximation. The approximations

Superelastic scattering of polarized electrons from laser-excited polarized chromium atoms (4 7P o 4 rarr} 4 7S 3 transition, energy gain 2.92 eV) has been measured for total collision energies of 6.8 and 13.6 eV (0.5 and 1.0 Ryd) and scattering angles

In many scattering experiments, the quantity of most direct physical interest is a measure of the difference between two closely related scattering signals, each generated by a Poisson scattering process. This difference is often expressed in terms of an

Angle-resolved ratios of the separate triplet and singlet spin channel cross sections have been measured for elastic scattering of spin-polarized electrons from optically pumped spin-polarized sodium atoms. The triplet-to-singlet ratios axe reported at

Measurements of spin-resolved elastic electron-sodium scattering have been carried out at incident energies of 4.1 and 12.1 eV, and the ratio of triplet to singlet scattering cross sections has been obtained at each energy. The ratio is used to provide a

We have measured the spin-dependence for elastic and superelastic scattering of spin-polarized electrons from optically prepared sodium atoms at selected incident energies from 1.0 to 54.4 eV and for scattering angles ranging from 10-degrees to 140-degrees

A very stringent test of low-energy electron-atom collision theory is made in the most favorable energy regime for the close-coupling approximation. Data are presented as exchange asymmetries in angle-resolved elastic scattering of spin-polarized electrons
