Equipment

Our in house experimental program is conducted at the experimental facilities at GUNILLA (Göteborg University Negative Ion Laser LAboratory). The main part of this laboratory is a negative ion accelerator and three main frame laser systems. A detailed description of the GUNILLA can be found here. Some of the specifications of these systems are given below:

Ion accelerator

Ion sources: Peabody sputter ion source, Colutron Plasma Ion source
Beam energy: 3-6 keV
Mass resolution: 400 for atoms and 700 for molecules
Vacuum: 10^-9 mbar in detection regions
Interaction regions: Crossed and collinear interaction regions
Detectors: Neutral particle detector, Beamscanners, Faraday cups, RoentDek Time and Position sensitive MCP Delay Line Detector.
