Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
We wish to build a new high flux VUV monochromator covering the range 40-200 nm at the Daresbury SRS. This will provide an internationally competitive instrument at modest cost which will stimulate new world-class science over a range of disciplines; physicists, chemists and biologists. The instrument will be built through collaboration between the University of Birmingham, CCLRC Daresbury Laboratory, and the manufacturers. A wide range of science is described, including the spectroscopy and decay dynamics of Rydberg and molecular ion states of polyatomic molecules; photoelectron and photoionisation phenomena, cluster and free radical studies, and circular dichroism studies of a range of condensed-phase, chemical and biological samples. The work will be of importance to applied areas in clean technology, mass spectrometry, atmospheric and interstellar science, and biological / radiation damage. The proposal receives enthusiastic support from ca. 12 major research groups from all the three main scientific disciplines, and will serve a wide variety of scientists - the main criterion for a MPRE award.
