This chamber is currently used to study high-field ionization processes in rare gasses.  High-harmonic generation is studied with equipment appearing immediately to the left of the chamber.  These experiments are performed under the direction of Bob Jones and Charles Sukenik in a UVa/ODU collaboration. 

This equipment is used for the pump-probe transient bleaching experiments for determining the IVR rates of gas and solution phase molecules.  These experiments are performed under the direction of Brooks Pate of the University of Virginia.
