  • Dissociative Recombination of Vibrationally Excited HD+: State-Selective Experimental Investigation.

    Physical Review A., pp. 3769-3785 (1999).

    The relative dissociative recombination rate coefficients for specific vibrational states of HD+ have been measured. The method is based on using merged electron and molecular ion beams in a heavy-ion storage ring together with molecular fragment imaging techniques which allow us to probe the vibrational-state population of the stored beam as a function of time as well as the final state of the dissociation. The initial vibrational distribution of the stored ion beam (from a Penning ion source)…

    The relative dissociative recombination rate coefficients for specific vibrational states of HD+ have been measured. The method is based on using merged electron and molecular ion beams in a heavy-ion storage ring together with molecular fragment imaging techniques which allow us to probe the vibrational-state population of the stored beam as a function of time as well as the final state of the dissociation. The initial vibrational distribution of the stored ion beam (from a Penning ion source) is found to be in good agreement with a Franck-Condon model of electron impact ionization, apart from slightly larger experimental populations found for low vibrational states; its time evolution in the storage ring reflects the predicted vibrational level lifetimes. Dissociative recombination measurements were performed with the electron and ion beams at matched velocities (corresponding to average collision energies of about 10 meV), and at several well-defined collision energies in the range of 3-11 eV. The obtained vibrational-state specific recombination rate coefficients are compared with theoretical calculations and show that, although an overall agreement exists between experiment and theory, large discrepancies occur for certain vibrational states at low electron energy.

  • Dissociative Recombination of HD+ in Selected Vibrational Quantum States

    Science, pp. 75-78, 281 (1998).

    Rate coefficients for dissociative recombination of HD+ in selected vibrational states have been measured by a combination of two molecular fragment imaging methods by using the heavy-ion storage ring technique. Recombination fragment imaging yields state-to-state reaction rates. These rates are converted to rate coefficients by using vibrational level populations of the stored ion beam, derived from nuclear coordinate distributions measured on extracted ions. The results show strongly…

    Rate coefficients for dissociative recombination of HD+ in selected vibrational states have been measured by a combination of two molecular fragment imaging methods by using the heavy-ion storage ring technique. Recombination fragment imaging yields state-to-state reaction rates. These rates are converted to rate coefficients by using vibrational level populations of the stored ion beam, derived from nuclear coordinate distributions measured on extracted ions. The results show strongly increasing rate coefficients for high vibrational excitation, where additional dissociation routes open up, in agreement with a theoretical calculation. Very low rate coefficients are found for certain, isolated vibrational states.

  • A New Type of Electrostatic Ion Trap for Storage of Fast Ion Beams,

    Review of Scientific Instruments, pp. 76-83, 69 (1998).

    A new technique for trapping of fast (keV) ion beams is presented. The trap, which is electrostatic, works on a principle similar to that of optical resonators. The main advantages of the trap are the possibility to trap fast beams without need of deceleration, the well-defined beam direction, the easy access to the trapped beam by various probes, and the simple requirement in terms of external beam injection. Results of preliminary experiments related to the radiative cooling of molecular ions…

  • An Electrostatic Bottle for Long Time Storage of Fast Ion Beams.

    Physical Review A, pp. 1577-1580, 55 (1997).

    A technique for storage of fast-ion beams (keV) using only electrostatic fields is presented. The fast-ion trap is designed like an optical resonator, whose electrode configuration allows for a very large field-free region, easy access into the trap by various probes, a simple ion loading technique, and a broad acceptance range for the initial kinetic energies of the ions.
