This award supports Dr. Daniel E. Murnick of Rutgers University to collaborate in physics research with Dr. Andreas Ulrich of the Physics Department of the Technical University of Munich. They will study the optical emission from matter excited by heavy ion beams, with the goal of developing new short wavelength lasers. New spectroscopy in the vacuum ultraviolet region, from heavy ion beam pumped gases, will be studied with measureable gain possible on selected transitions. Planning and experimental design will take place both in the U.S. and West Germany. Experiments will be conducted at the GSI heavy ion accelerator facility in Darmstadt, West Germany, which has unique capabilities for these studies. Data analysis and evaluation will also be carried out in both countries. Reciprocal visits will facilitate both the experimental and the analytical phases of the project. Heavy ion beam pumping provides a laser excitation technique which is potentially significant for producing short wavelength high power lasers. The study of the physics of the excited state formation and decay until now has been the most important area of current research. Recent accelerator advances now allow the production of very intensive, well focused beams which are useful both for heavy ion inertial confinement fusion and short wavelength laser physics research. The proposed collaboration will use a unique new heavy ion synchrotron, the SIS, just completed in Darmstadt, West Germany, to probe exciting new potential short wavelength laser physics and sources. The research should lead to important new fundamental results, through the discovery and study of new physics of heavy ion interactions in dense plasmas.

该奖项支持罗格斯大学的Daniel E. Murnick博士与慕尼黑技术大学物理系的Andreas Ulrich博士合作。 他们将研究重离子束激发的物质发射，目的是开发新的短波长激光器。 从重离子束泵送气体中，真空紫外线区域中的新光谱法可以在选定的过渡中进行可测量的增益。 计划和实验设计将在美国和西德进行。 实验将在西德达姆施塔特的GSI重离子加速器设施进行，该设施具有这些研究的独特功能。 数据分析和评估也将在两国进行。 相互访问将促进项目的实验阶段和分析阶段。 重离子束泵送提供了一种激光激发技术，该技术对于产生短波长高功率激光器具有重要意义。 到目前为止，对激发状态形成和衰减的物理学的研究一直是当前研究的最重要领域。 最近的加速器进步现在可以生产非常密集，集中良好的光束，这既适用于重离子惯性限制融合和短波长激光物理学研究。 拟议的合作将使用独特的新型重离子同步器The SIS（刚刚在西德达尔斯塔特完成）来探究令人兴奋的新潜在潜在短波长激光物理和来源。 这项研究应通过发现和研究密集的血浆中重离子相互作用的新物理学，从而导致重要的新基本结果。
