Michael Bussmann

I am currently working at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf as the leader of the Computational Radiation Physics Junior Group. My research interests are laser acceleration, laser cooling of ion beams, plasma physics and computational physics.

I worked at the Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf as a member of the Laser Particle Acceleration Group. My research interests focussed on laser acceleration, laser cooling of ion beams, plasma physics and computational physics.

I actively developed and succesfully carried out experiments on laser cooling of ion beams, both in Paul traps and large-scale storage rings. I also developed a massive-parallel molecular dynamics software to investigate the dynamics of strongly coupled laser cooled one-component plasmas.

I proposed, planned and carried out laser cooling experiments at the Experimental Storage Ring at GSI in 2004 and 2006. The work involved building the experimental setup at the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich which was then used in two measurement campaigns in Spring 2004 and Spring 2006.

Summer Student at CERN, Geneva inthe group of Luis Hervas. I constructed and tested readout electronics for the ATLAS detector, specifically the Electromagnetic Barrel Calorimeter.

Working as a student researcher in the group of Professor Schaile, I tested the Muon Drift Tubes for the ATLAS detector located at CERN.

Working as a student researcher in the group of Professor Walther, I characterized a supersonic Rubidium beam used in the Micromaser experiment.

I simulated and tested magnet coils and the corresponding electronics for a Neutron-Resonance-Spin-Echo in the Group of Roland Gähler.

Summer Student at Desy, Hamburg in the group of Professor Klanner. I actively took part in testing Silicon Microvertex Detectors for the ZEUS detector at Desy.

Working as a student researcher in the group of Professor Walther, I stabilized a diode laser system using the formerly developed Rubidium-based polarization spectroscopy setup.

Working as a student researcher in the group of Professor Walther, I built a Rubidium-based polarization spectroscopy setup.
