RESUMEN
We report on hyperfine-resolved laser spectroscopy of the A2Π â X2Σ+ transition of magnesium monofluoride (MgF), relevant for laser cooling. We recorded 25 rotational transitions with an absolute accuracy of better than 20 MHz, assigned 56 hyperfine lines, and determined precise rotational, fine, and hyperfine structure parameters for the A2Π state. The radiative lifetime of the A2Π state was determined to be 7.2(3) ns, in good agreement with ab initio calculations. The transition isotope shift between bosonic isotopologues of the molecule is recorded and compared to predicted values within the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. We measured the Stark effect of selected rotational lines of the A2Π â X2Σ+ transition by applying electric fields of up to 10.6 kV cm-1 and determined the permanent electric dipole moments of 24MgF in its ground X2Σ+ and first excited A2Π states to be µX = 2.88(20) D and µA = 3.20(22) D, respectively. Based on these measurements, we caution for potential losses from the optical cycling transition due to electric field induced parity mixing in the excited state. In order to scatter 104 photons, the electric field must be controlled to below 1 V cm-1.
RESUMEN
In a clinical study with a modified shock wave generator supplied by Dornier Medizintechnik for the Dornier Kidney Lithotripter HM3 the requirement of analgetics decreased significantly during Opioid-Analgesia. It could be shown that Extra-corporal Shock Wave Lithotripsy is possible without a central acting drug. Furthermore, a reduction of perioperative morbidity could be observed with the new generator.

We report on the clinical application of a modified shock-wave generator for the Dornier Lithotripter HM 3. Stone fragmentation, complication rate, and frequency of auxiliary measures were unchanged in comparison to the former generator. The new shock-wave generator led to markedly reduced patient discomfort during treatment, with the result that more than 50% of all ESWLs could be done with sedation only or without any medication.
