Hansen<br/>The cooling rates of C_{60}^{-} have been measured in an electrostatic storage ring between several hundred μs and several tens of ms with one-photon laser excitation. The absolute energy scale is established by the photon energy, and the cooling time interval is derived from the nonexponential dec...<br/>[Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 143001] Published Mon Sep 28, 2009 A.
