Current Research Activities:

- Further development of mass spectrometry and ion-storage techniques

(Penning traps, Paul traps, Electrostatic Ion-Beam Traps)

and their application in the investigation of, e.g.,

- the properties of atomic clusters (laser- and collision-induced dissociation, chemical reactions,

production und study of multiply-charged clusters, both positive and negative, radiative cooling)

- precision mass spectrometry of short-lived nuclides
