Detection of recurrent fluorescence photons emitted from C4

• We detected recurrent fluorescence photons from vibrationally hot C4- ions stored in an electrostatic ion storage ring. By virtue of the mass-independent storage condition, various anions produced in the laser ablation ion source were simultaneously stored with their own velocities, and ionic species emitting photons were identified from the temporal profile of the detected photons. The fluorescence synchronized with revolution of C4- , through the bandpass filter for the known absorption band, were clearly observed.
