Key Parameters:

Base Vacuum:  <10 -7 torr (with pulse valves off)
Resolution of Translational Energy:  1%
Crossing Angle of Two Molecular Beams:  60-155o
Detectable Angle:  0-360o

Functions & Applications

We focus on state-to-state dynamics of elementary chemical reactions, taking advantage of time-sliced ion velocity map imaging technique. We build crossed beam scattering apparatus that allows us to produce atomic and molecular beams using molecular beam photodissociation as well as discharge or pyrolysis methods. It provides opportunities to investigate many important reactions with high velocity resolution (～1%).
