Project C4

Project leader: Asvany, Oskar (PH1)

This project aims at recording high-resolution rotational-vibrational as well as pure rotational spectra of molecular ions. Additionally, we want to study the energetics and kinetics of their low-temperature reactions with simple neutral collision partners, providing important rate coefficients for astrochemical models. Prime targets of this endeavor are molecular ions formed at early stages of interstellar evolution, e.g., those containing mainly hydrogen and helium. In particular, the fundamental ions HHen+, H2Hen+ and the loosely bound H3+–He shall be investigated at cryogenic temperatures.
