Alexander Dorn

PD Dr. Alexander Dorn is a researcher affiliated with the Pfeifer Department, leading the experimental research group (AG Dorn). His work focuses on high-precision studies of electron-atom/molecule collisions and ultracold quantum dynamics, utilizing momentum-resolved reaction microscopes and femtosecond-laser ionization techniques.

• Key Research Areas:
  • Electron-induced ionization processes
  • Ultracold quantum gases (bosonic/fermionic lithium systems)
  • Strong-field physics in biological molecules
  • Applications in tumor therapy and environmental studies

AG Dorn's laboratory investigates fundamental atomic interactions through two primary research lines: (1) detailed analysis of charged fragment dynamics in electron collision experiments, particularly with hydrogen, helium, and DNA components embedded in aqueous environments; and (2) exploration of spatial configurations and quantum state effects in laser-cooled lithium atom pairs. Their technical approach combines advanced instrumentation (reaction microscopes) with ultrafast laser systems to enable groundbreaking insights into atomic-scale physics.
