Measurements Of Ion-Molecule Reaction Rate Coefficients Between 8 and 160 K by the Cresu Technique

  • Chapter
Molecular Astrophysics

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASIC,volume 157))

Abstract

The CRESU technique uses uniform supersonic jets as flow reactors and allows the determination of ion-molecule reaction rate coefficients at extremely low temperatures (down to 8 K). This technique requires an exceptional pumping capacity and a correct design of contoured axisymmetric Laval nozzles. Several reactions have been studied in oxygen or nitrogen buffer gases (O2 + + CH 4 ; O2 + + 202 ; N2 + + 2N2) as well as in helium buffer gas (He+ + N2, O2, CO ; N ++ H2, CH4, CO, O2 ; N2 + + N2 + He; N2 + + O2 ; O+ + O2), some of which being relevant to interstellar cloud chemistry.
