Our research focus on studies of the dynamics of isolated molecular ions initiated with high energy radiation or through chemical reactions with gas phase targets.

We combine techniques

• to control and trap ions, i.e. Radiofrequency traps and    electrostatic  storage devices (rings and linear trap

• to analyze and detect the photofragments (electrons, neutral, and charged fragments)

with modern intense light sources,

• the Free-Electron-Laser FLASH at DESY in Hamburg,

• the ASTRID2 at IFA, and

• ns- and fs-lasers in the IR-UV region.

We also study non-linear mechanical problems and for instance develop new student exercises.

We offer several Master and Bachelor programs within these areas.
