List of research methods In the BIBL search form, use the exact BRIEF NAMEs (case insensitive). If you specify an invalid method name, the database will return an error message. The most popular method names are: EXP and TH. They mean: any experimental (or theoretical) method, correspondingly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brief name | Full name |Exp/Th ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A-B |Atomic Beams | Exp ABS |Absorption Spectroscopy | Exp BF |Beam-Foil | Exp BFL |Beam-Foil-Laser Spectroscopy | Exp C-B |Coulomb-Born Approximation | Th CD |Capillary Discharge | Exp CE |Compilation of Experiments | Exp CHEX |Charge Exchange | Exp CI |Configuration Interaction | Th COLP |Collisions with Heavy Particles | Exp CT |Compilation of Theoretical Data | Th D-F |Dirac-Fock | Th DT |Discharge Tube | Exp DW |Distorted-Wave Approximation | Th EBIS |Electron Beam Ion Source | Exp EBIT |Electron Ion Beam Trap | Exp ECR |Electron Cyclotron Resonance Ion Source | Exp ES |Electrons Spectroscopy | Exp EXP |Experiment | Exp FDS |Fluorescence Depletion Spectroscopy | Exp FTS |Fourier Transform Spectroscopy | Exp GAS-DT |Gas-Discharge Tube | Exp HCD |Hollow Cathode Discharge | Exp HF |Hartry-Fock | Th ICP |Inductively Coupled Plasma | Exp LIVS |Low Inductance Vacuum Spark | Exp LPP |Laser Produced Plasma | Exp LS |Laser Spectroscopy | Exp MBPT |Many-Body Perturbation-Theory | Th MCDF |Multi-Configuration Dirac-Fock | Th MCHF |Multi-Configuration Hartry-Fock | Th MOT |Magneto-optical trap | Exp MPZA |Model Potential in Zero Approximation | Th MQD |Multichannel Quantum Defect | Th MS |Mass Spectrometry | Exp OPTGS |Optogalvanic Spectroscopy | Exp PF |Plasma Focus | Exp PHES |Photoelectron Spectroscopy | Exp PID-PLASMA |Penning Ionization Discharge Plasma | Exp PL-EX.W |Exploding Wires Plasma | Exp PRT |Pattern Recognition Technique | Exp PT |Parametric Theory; Fitting | Th PT-GLSF |Generelised Least-Squares Fitting | Exp R-M |R-Matrix Method | Th RRPA |Relativistic Random Phase Approximation | Th SOL |Solar Spectra Observations | Exp SOSA |Spin-Orbit Split Arrays | Th SR |Synchrotron Radiation | Exp STAR |Spectra of Stars | Exp T-PINCH |Theta-Pinch | Exp TH |Theory | Th TLS |Three-Level Spectroscopy | Exp TOKAMAK |TOKAMAK | Exp UTA |Unresolved Transition Arrays | Th VS |Vacuum Spark | Exp Z-PINCH |Z-pinch or X-pinch spectra | Exp
