Summary on Grant Application Form
The principle use of the requested equipment will be to conduct research into Collisional Processes at extremely low temperatures in the almost unique CRESU supersonic flow facility at Birmingham. Generation of VUV and mid IR radiation will enable three areas of particular interest to astrophysical chemistry to be addressed: (a) reactions of atomic species; (b) the measurement of product branching ratios; and (c) the investigation of collisional energy transfer, all at temperatures down to ~10K. The system will also be used in support of projects directed by the proposal co-investigators in the areas of Vacuum Ultraviolet Photochemistry of Polyatomic Molecules (RPT) and Stimulated Raman Scattering from Atmospheric Aerosols (JPR).
