J rgen Michael Lobert

Objective To find a long-term, mutually satisfying position to carry out state-of-the-art research

and instrument development for atmospheric sciences or environmental control in a

well supported team.

Target Position Senior Scientist, Research Chemist, Director.

Working full-time in a small, motivated team of 4-10 persons on well-funded projects

of several months to a few years length with a good support structure

(administrative, assistants, work shops, documentation, etc). External, peer review of

the work is essential, so are documentation of work done and publication of relevant

information in peer-reviewed journals. Laboratory / engineering work, data analysis,

travel and publications may take roughly equal, major portions of the work.

Career Level and Mid-career with more than 20 years of experience. Date of availability is negotiable,

three month transition time is preferred. Major relocation is generally considered.

1/1986 - 4/1986 Hahn Meitner Institute for Nuclear Science Berlin, Germany

Visiting Scientist

Project Title: Studies on noble gas clusters.

Construction of a magnetic shield for electron spectrometers and participation in

synchrotron experiments at the Berliner Elektronen Synchrotron BESSY.

Participation in experiments determining gas clusters of 2 to 40 molecular units of Ar,

Xe, and SF6 with time of flight mass spectrometers and synchrotron light as an

ionization source.

These cluster experiments were planned to be carried out using electron

spectrometers instead of synchrotron light, determining ionizing electrons, ionized

electrons and the ionized clusters in a three-way coincidence measurement using

Faraday grids, time-of-flight MS and a second electron spectrometer as detectors.

For housing the two electron spectrometers, a shield against earth magnetic and metal

magnetic fields was constructed. It had a cylindrical shape with grids at both ends to

enable evacuation down to 10-5 hPa. This setup required knowledge of shielding

materials, the design and final drawing of the shielding chamber including a frame for

the spectrometers and detectors, which are mounted around the molecular beam of

the gases.

The shield was built and put into operation during the months following my visit.
