About this title

Product Description

This volume grew out of lectures given on October 19, 2002 at the University of Washington in Seattle, honouring the Nobel Laureate Professor Hans Dehmelt upon his retirement from the University. Ten invited experts spoke on current topics connected to Professor Dehmelt's research over the years. These lectures, collected together as chapters in this book, demonstrate the grand legacy left by Professor Dehmelt's innovations in biomedical engineering, optical pumping, atomic clocks, trapped atomic and molecular ions and by his measurements on single atomic ions, electrons and positrons.
