Laser Spectroscopy of Hydrogen-Like and Helium-Like Ions

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Hydrogen Atom

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Physics ((LNP,volume 570))

Abstract

Laser spectroscopy of hydrogen-like and helium-like ions is reviewed. Emphasis is on the fast-beam laser resonance technique, measurements in moderate-Z ions which provide tests of relativistic and quantum-electrodynamic atomic theory, and future experimental directions.
