We present ionization cross-sections for antiproton and helium collisions based on an ab initio time-dependent coupled channel method. In our calculations, a finite basis set of regular helium Coulomb wave packets and Slater function were used. The s...

In this article, effects of the strong long-range interaction of Rydberg atoms on the Autler–Townes splitting spectrum are investigated. Preliminary results are obtained for various excitation times and Rydberg atom densities. The $2S_{1/2}$ and $2P_1$...

An atom confined in an optical dipole trap is a promising candidate for a qubit. Analyzing the temporal response of such trapped atoms enables us to estimate the speed at which quantum computers operate. The present work models an atom in an optical...

Time and frequency (T&F) measurement with unprecedented accuracy is the backbone for several sophisticated technologies, commensurate with the evolution of human civilisation in the 20th century in terms of communication, positioning, navigation,...

Ab initio calculations sometimes do not reproduce the experimentally observed energy separations at a high enough accuracy. Fine-tuning of diagonal elements of the Hamiltonian matrix is a process which seeks to ensure that calculated energy separatio...

We studied the ¹S^e and ^1,3P^o resonance states of negative hydrogen-like ions immersed in quantum plasmas. The exponential cosine screened Coulomb potential was considered to model the quantum plasma environment. The correlated exponential wave functi...

grasp is a software package in Fortran 95, adapted to run in parallel under MPI, for research in atomic physics. The basic premise is that, given a wave function, any observed atomic property can be computed. Thus, the first step is always to determi...

A recent work shows how to extract the ionization site of a neutral diatomic molecule by comparing Quantum Trajectory Monte Carlo (QTMC) simulations with experimental measurements of the final electron momenta distribution. This method was applied to...

This study reports on the absolute photoionization cross sections for the magnesium-like Cl⁵⁺ ion over the 190–370 eV photon energy range, corresponding to the L-shell (2s and 2p subshells) excitation regime. The experiments were performed usin...

We outline an experimental technique for measuring the degree of polarization of a positron beam using an optically pumped, spin-polarized Rb target. The technique is based on the production and measurement of the ortho- and para-positronium fraction...

High-accuracy spectroscopy commonly requires dedicated investigation into the choice of spectral line modelling to avoid the introduction of unwanted systematic errors. For such a kind of problem, the analysis of ${\chi }^2$ and likelihood are normally im...

We use the PyNeb 1.1.16 Python package to evaluate the atomic datasets available for the spectral modeling of [Fe ii] and [Fe iii], which list level energies, A-values, and effective collision strengths. Most datasets are reconstructed from the sourc...

This work discusses diatomic molecular spectroscopy of laser-induced plasma and analysis of data records, specifically signatures of cyanide, CN. Line strength data from various databases are compared for simulation of the CN, $B{}^2{\Sigma }^{+}⟶X{}^2{\&Si}^{}$...
