4
COLTRIMS: Principles
  • Cold Target Recoil Ion Momentum Spectroscopy is a technique in which information about the collision is obtained through the measurement of the momentum transferred to the ionized target (atom/molecule).


5
COLTRIMS: Pros & Cons
  • Pros:
      • This technique allows  kinematically complete experiments.


      • The good resolution in the measured longitudinal recoil ion momentum allows accurate determination of the inelasticity in the collision and therefore identification of the different collision channels by their different Q-values.
  • Cons:
      •  Ultimately, in COLTRIMS, the resolution is limited by the temperature of the target (>100 mK) traditionally delivered by a supersonic jet.


      •  Problematic for collisions with excited target.


6
MOTIVATION

  •  Collisions with excited target  (~ 20%).


  •  Resolution is no longer limited by target temperatures (~ 130mK).


  •  Cross-section measurements provide rigorous test for theory.
