research

Dr. Khakoo focuses his research efforts on experimental inquiries into atomic physics, specifically electron scattering from fundamental targets.

The goal of this research is to provide experimental electron-gas scattering data in the form of cross-sections, cross-section ratios and coherence and correlation parameters as fundamental tests of current electron scattering models. These data are also very useful for plasma processing applications, astrophysical modeling applications, lighting industry applications, and Tokamak magnetic confinement fusion research. We are especially interested in fundamental targets such as H, He, rare gases, metallic vapors, and H₂, N₂, O₂, CO, and CO₂.
