SPARC Topical Workshop 2016

Precision spectroscopy of highly charged ions provides a powerful tool to study many unexplored realms of physics, shedding light on many astrophysical, quantum electrodynamic, atomic collision and spectroscopic mysteries. X-ray spectra of various supernova remnants, obtained by ASCA and Suzaku observatories provided conclusive evidence of H- and He-like Si, S, Ar, Ca and Fe ions[1]. The...

Collisional interaction of fast ions with large biomolecules, PAH and fullerenes is an active field of research which is not only important for the development of theoretical models for collisional aspects in many body systems but also for its application towards the modeling of radiation damage and astrophysical absorption spectrum in VUV region. There has been some distinct progress in the...
