This course covers both the principles and the building blocks of experimental measurement techniques and their applications in physics, chemistry and life sciences. We will discuss the basics and state-of-the-art implementations of vacuum technology, optical and wavelength dispersing components, electronics and measurement devices, photon and particle detectors, charged particle optics and imaging. This is integrated with measurement and experimental concepts like molecular beams, ionization and fluorescence spectroscopy, sub-Doppler and Cavity-Ring-Down spectroscopy, multidimensional spectroscopy, coincidence electron and ion imaging, and microscopy. Applications of these advanced measurement techniques in studies of atomic, molecular and (bio)material in physical and life sciences will be reviewed using recent Review Papers.
To provide a broad overview of advanced experimental techniques, equipment and measurement concepts and their application in modern research in the physical and life sciences.
A combination of lectures, exercises and assignments, demonstrations, in total 42 hours.
