Atomic Physics Methods in Modern Research: Selection of Papers Dedicated to Gisbert Zu Putlitz on the Occasion of His 65th Birthday Volume 499

Atomic Physics Has Played A Central Role In The Development Of Modern Physics. Progress Was Based On Newly Invented Scientific Methods And Experimental Tools And Today These Techniques Are Successfully Employed In A Wide Variety Of Highly Active Areas In Modern Research, Extending From Investigations Of Most Fundamental Interactions In Physics To Experiments Related To Topics In Applied Sciences And Technical Aspects. With Steadily Increasing Importance They Are Found In Areas Well Outside Of Classical Atomic Physics In Fields Such As Nuclear And Particle Physics, Metrology, Physics Of Condensed Matter And Surfaces, Physical Chemistry, Chemistry, Medicine And Environmental Research. This Book Gives A Thorough Survey Of The Methods And Techniques In Key Experiments Of Interdisciplinary Research. Two-photon Method For Metrology In Hydrogen -- High-precision Atomic Spectroscopy Of Muonium And Simple Muonic Atoms -- Muonium Atom As A Probe Of Physics Beyond The Standard Model -- Can Atoms Trapped In Solid He Be Used To Search For Physics Beyond The Standard Model? -- G-factors Of Subatomic Particles -- Laser Spectroscopy Of Metastable Antiprotonic Helium Atomcules -- Polarized, Compressed 3he Gas And Its Applications -- Medical Nmr Sensing With Laser Polarized 3he And 129xe -- Test Of Special Relativity In A Heavy Ion Storage Ring -- Resonance Fluorescence Of A Single Ion.
