MOLECULAR BEAM EXPERIMENTS IN THE LUNAR ENVIRONMENT.
Abstract
The implications of an ultra-high vacuum with the equivalent of a large pumping capacity as provided by the lunar environment are examined with respect to several kinds of molecular beam experiments. The effects of background pressure or density on beam generation, interaction with various targets and detection are considered. Specific experiments discussed are those for measurements of (1) particle-field interactions, (2) molecule-surface interactions and (3) reactive and non-reactive molecular scattering. (Author)
