CMI celebrated Jens Kienitz's graduation

Jens joined CMI in July 2012 and has been a highly valued member of the group and also within collaborations with other groups. Starting out with joining in experiments studying the rotational dynamics of OCS molecules [1], he proceeded with the simulation, design, building and characterization of two new experimental tools. The first one is a high-voltage velocity map imaging spectrometer [2], which allows to adiabatically orient ground state selected molecules. The second tool is a new type of electro-static deflector, which can be employed for the selection of molecular states and structures [3]. The new design broadens the range of possibilities of electro-static separation and preparation - a method often used within the CMI group's experiments.  

We wish him all the best in his future life and career from all our hearts.
