Hadronic resonance production plays an important role both in elementary and in nucleus-nucleus collisions. In heavy-ion collisions, since the lifetimes of short-lived resonances are comparable with the lifetime of the late hadronic phase,…
Shape resonances in H$_2$, produced as reaction intermediates in the photolysis of H$_2$S precursor molecules, are measured in a half-collision approach. Before desintegrating into two ground state H atoms, the reaction is quenched by…
Short lived resonances are sensitive to the medium properties in heavy-ion collisions. Heavy hadrons have larger probability to be produced within the quark gluon plasma phase due to their short formation times. Therefore heavy mass…

Tunable scattering resonances are crucial for controlling atomic and molecular systems. However, their use has so far been limited to ultracold temperatures. These conditions remain hard to achieve for most hybrid trapped ion-atom systems…
