By combining femtosecond laser pulses with ultracold quantum gases, new states of matter ranging from atom-ion hybrid sytems over dense Rydberg gases to ultracold microplasma can be created using local strong-field excitation and ionization.
In order to access the dynamics of these complex systems, a high spatial, spectral and angular resolution of the generated electrons and ions is necessary. Therefore, a coincidence unit consisting of a velocity-map-imaging spectrometer for electrons and an ion microscope will be implemented in the experimental setup. This allows mapping the electron momenta with a simulated energy resolution of Δ E/E ≤ 10% over a range of 0.05 meV - 3.2 eV and imaging of the ions with a spatial resolution of 100 nm. Furthermore, coincidence detection is enabled via pulsed extraction allowing to study the dynamics and correlations in many-body-systems with long-range interaction.
