Abstract: Important developments in laser sources for the vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) region of the spectrum are making it possible to carry out resonance ionization [for a review, see Ref1] of some of the noble gases It has already been shown that xenon can be ionized in a two-photon allowed excitation from the ground state Recently a new method of generating radiation by four-wave mixing in mercury vapor[2] enables excitation of xenon in a one-photon resonance process With these new laser sources[3] we expect to have effective ionization volumes of 10-3-10-2 cm3 for the cases of argon, krypton, and xenon This has important consequences in weak interaction physics and environmental research

Double beta Decay and Majorana Neutrino
TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown why the Dirac neutrino has a freedom of phase transformation to guarantee the lepton number conservation, while the Majorana neutrinos do not.
Resonance ionization spectroscopy and one-atom detection
TL;DR: In this paper, the RIS process can be saturated with available pulsed lasers, so that one electron can be removed from each atom of the selected type, and a compact theory of RIS process is presented which delineates the conditions under which rate equations apply.

Counting the atoms
TL;DR: The Counting of Atoms as mentioned in this paper was inspired by a similar one used by Ernest Rutherford for an unpublished lecture note now in the University of Cambridge library, and it has been shown that individual atoms can now be counted by several different methods.
