Resonant photon scattering by highly-charged ions exposed to external fields — •Jan Richter — PTB, Braunschweig, Germany — Leibniz Universität, Hannover, Germany

The elastic photon scattering process is a fundamental aspect of atom-light interactions and has been the subject of numerous experimental and theoretical studies. In this talk, we want to revisit the theory of resonant elastic scattering of photons on ions. Hereby, special attention is paid to the influence of external electric and magnetic fields on the scattering process such as the Hanle effect. The impact of this effect is discussed in the framework of different experimental scenarios.

Keywords: Photon Scattering; Resonant Scattering; Hanle Effect
