Excitation sources used for modern research:

Table-top instruments to high energy particle accelerator

Lasers: to 6 eV photons, used for Rotational, Vibrational and Electronic Spectroscopy

Synchrotron Radiation Sources: 5 eV to 1000 eV photons: used to study Valence to Inner-shell processes

Ion Traps and Atom Trap: Used to study precision measurement in neutral atoms to highly charged ions, U+91 in electron beam ion trap, Study of non-neutral plasma

Particle Accelerators: This is used to study the interactions of charged particles of MeV energies with atoms and molecules
