Laser-assisted charge exchange as an atomic yardstick for proton beam energy measurement and phase probe calibration

Laser-assisted charge exchange (LACE) is a novel scheme for injecting H^{-} ions into proton rings. Lorentz stripping of H^{-} ions into bare protons in magnetic dipoles is enabled by laser excitation that reduces the electron binding energy. We show that such atomic transitions impose very precise...
