Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

The primary goal of this DFG project which is to build up and operate a coincidence multi-hit COLTRIMS imaging system (COLd Target Recoil lon Momentum Spectroscopy) In the physics depariment at the Hashemite University was achieved. The COLTRIMS Imaging system has been built and operated at our physics department. All individual components of the COLTRIMS system which includes the supersonic gas jet, the position-sensitive detectors, and the momentum spectrometer were designed, manufactured, tested, mounted together and operated. No. of the master students from our depariment participated in all building, testing and operating of the COLTRIMS system. Each student has tested and operated a component of the COLTRIMS system as a research project for his or her master degree. Other master students have installed the COLTRIMS system at the Van de Graaff accelerator and conducted a series of experiments to reproduce experimental measurements of known ion-atomic and ion-molecular collisions studied by other COLTRIMS groups and published in intemational journals to test the performance of the system. The results showed that our COLTRIMS system is properly running. This indicates that our project goal was achieved. We even achieved more that what we planned in our project to have this technique at the Hashemite University. We actually succeeded to form a national research group for the COLTRIMS studies. Moreover, an endstation for COLTRIMS studies will be built at the SESAME synchrotron built in Jordan (as peace project). This endstation will be for all researchers from the middle east region. I am the coordinator for this endstation project.
