Testing atomic and collision physics, QED, Plasma Physics, Laboratory Astrophysics and Fundamental Constants a visible, VUV, X-ray synchrotron source allied with an Electron Beam Ion Trap

Abstract

Recent Australian expertise in developing atomic and collision physics, new tests of QED, Plasma Physics and Synchrotron Science is pooled in a proposal to unite the novel sources of a synchrotron beam-line across energy regimes with an Electron Beam Ion Trap to produce a unique tool for advancing fundamental research and physics including plasma physics, laboratory astrophysics, investigations of the constancy of fundamental constants of nature and tests of QED.
