Downstream hydrogen plasma cleaning for mass metrology at NIST
(2018-06-01)On International Metrology Day, May 20, 2019, the redefinition of the International System of Units (SI) is scheduled to be implemented. When this occurs the kilogram, the last remaining unit defined by a physical artifact, ... -
A Fresh Look at Abundances of Iron-group Elements in Very Metal-Poor Stars
(2018-04-27)Studies of very metal-poor stars have focused attention on the neutron-capture (Z > 30) elements, whose dramatic star-to-star variations give us insights to element production in extreme, explosive nucleosynthesis environments. ... -
From nonlocal electrons to delocalized electrons and artificial atoms
(2018-04-27)After spending a portion of his career on nonlocal electron kinetics in plasmas, the speaker entered a new phase of his career with plasma materials synthesis. The talk will discuss how plasmas can be used to synthesize, ... -
Gas Discharge Lamps – A Requiem
(2018-04-27)Almost a century has passed since the introduction into the market of gas discharge lamps for general lighting in the form of fluorescent lamps, made possible by the discovery of phosphors able to convert ultra-violet (UV) ... -
High energy density plasma simulations using ultracold neutral plasmas
(2018-04-27)Strongly-coupled Coulomb systems are typically fluid-like plasmas characterized by the ratio of the nearest-neighbor electrical potential energy to the average kinetic energy. When this ratio is near unity, the plasmas are ... -
How I Became a Non-Chemist
(2018-04-27)Some scientists direct their careers with laser focus to answer a small set of questions. Others wander around like a trapped photon. I will tell the story about how a plasma physicist ended up studying combustion chemistry, ... -
Jim Lawler's Science: Above and Below the H-Line
(2018-04-27)This presentation gives an overview of Jim Lawler's career, focusing on a few of his important contributions to science. -
JimFest Overview
(2018-04-27)Overview of the 2018 Wisconsin Atomic Spectroscopy Seminar in honor of Prof. James E. Lawler. Includes biographical information and the scientific program. -
Measurements of branching fractions using Fourier transform and grating spectroscopy
(2018-04-30)The measurement of lifetimes using laser-induced fluorescence at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has been one of the most productive experiments in the measurement of atomic spectroscopic data. The NIST bibliographic ... -
Six Lines to Tell a Story
(2018-04-27)In this talk, I will highlight a recently completed investigation into a challenge brought against our earlier work on vanadium. The discrepancy between six transition probabilities and its resolution touches on several ... -
Spectroscopic study of the 7p J=1/2 and 7p J=3/2 states in neutral cesium-133
(2018-04-27)I will start with a few observations of connections between spectroscopy and other (seemingly unrelated) research topics, then focus on Doppler free spectroscopy on the 7p J=1/2 and 7p J=3/2 states in neutral cesium-133. ... -
Transition Probabilities for Neutral Cerium from Boltzmann Analysis of Fourier Transform Spectra
(2018-04-27)Poster presentation on Cerium transition probabilities -
UW Laboratory Astrophysics
(2018-04-27)In this talk I will describe the laboratory astrophysics program of the Jim Lawler group at the University of Wisconsin – Madison, focusing on the laboratory techniques and instruments used for the measurement of transition ...
