A cold polar molecule-ion chemistry platform for testing reactive collision theories, new reactions, and methods of quantum control

Abstract

The objective is to construct a cold, state-selected molecular beam using cryogenic buffer-gas cooling and observe reactions with cold target ions held in an RF Paul trap using an a combination of ion imaging and mass spectrometry in order to study the reactions of polyatomic molecules with sympathetically laser cooled atomic C+ ions.
