In our study of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) dimer cations such as di-benzene, di-naphthalene and di-pyrene, we use a compact electrostatic ion storage ring, the Mini-Ring. Dimer cations of PAHs are produced by using an electron cyclotron resonance plasma ion source (ECR) with low HF power and high pressure. They are stored in the Mini-Ring up to 100 ms in order to characterize the...
New research opportunities in atomic, molecular, and cluster physics are available in form of cold ion beams stored in the electrostatic Cryogenic Storage Ring (CSR) at the Max-Planck-Institut für Kernphysik in Heidelberg. This mass-independent storage device operated at cryogenic temperatures has observation times of hours and allows studying even large biomolecular or cluster systems in the...
