Survival of rotational alignment in H-2 scattering from Si(100)

We report a state-prepared, state-resolved study of rotational scattering of a diatomic molecule from a solid surface. Specifically, H-2 molecules with 80 meV kinetic energy are rotationally aligned in the j = 3 rotational state via stimulated Raman pumpin ...

Measurement of the muon flux from 400 GeV/c protons interacting in a thick molybdenum/tungsten target

Lesya Shchutska, Aurelio Bay, Guido Haefeli, Elena Graverini, Alexey Boyarsky, Federico Leo Redi, Maria Elena Stramaglia, Oleg Ruchayskiy, Nikolaos Charitonidis, Jean-Loup Tastet, Ekaterina Kuznetsova, Hans Dijkstra, Anton Petrov, Sergei Smirnov

The SHiP experiment is proposed to search for very weakly interacting particles beyond the Standard Model which are produced in a 400 GeV/c proton beam dump at the CERN SPS. About 1011muons per spill will be produced in the dump. To design the experiment s ...

Adsorption Sites of Metal Atoms on MgO Thin Films and Rotational Quantum State Spectroscopy of Physisorbed H₂

Edgar Fernandes

The work presented in this thesis covers two different topics of surface science, both investigated with the scanning tunneling miscroscopy and spectroscopy at low temperatures (5~K). First, we are interested in the spectroscopic properties of physisorbed ...

Experimental and Theoretical Studies of Low-Energy Penning Ionization of NH3, CH3F, and CHF3

Andreas Osterwalder, Justinas Jankunas

We present results from a joint theoretical and experimental study of the low-energy Penning ionization of NH3, CH3F, and CHF3 by metastable Ne(P-3(2)) and He(S-3(1)) atoms. We combine the merged neutral beams experiment, covering a range of collision ener ...

Importance of rotationally inelastic processes in low-energy Penning ionization of CHF3

Andreas Osterwalder, Justinas Jankunas

Low energy reaction dynamics can strongly depend on the internal structure of the reactants. The role of rotationally inelastic processes in cold collisions involving polyatomic molecules has not been explored so far. Here we address this problem performin ...

State-to-state scattering of CH₄ from Ni(111) and Gr/Ni(111)

Maarten Eduard van Reijzen

In this thesis, I describe the design and implementation of the first state-to-state surface scattering experiments for methane from clean single crystalline surfaces in ultrahigh vacuum. The experiments use infrared laser pumping to prepare the incident C ...

Planck 2013 results. XIII. Galactic CO emission

Xin Chen, Julien Lesgourgues, Fabio Finelli

Rotational transition lines of CO play a major role in molecular radio astronomy as a mass tracer and in particular in the study of star formation and Galactic structure. Although a wealth of data exists for the Galactic plane and some well-known molecular ...

Resonant-Enhanced Spectroscopy of Molecular Rotations with a Scanning Tunneling Microscope

Harald Brune, François Patthey, Donat Fabian Natterer

We use rotational excitation spectroscopy with a scanning tunneling microscope to investigate the rotational properties of molecular hydrogen and its isotopes physisorbed on the surfaces of graphene and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), grown on Ni(111), Ru( ...

How Space-Filling Is a Pyridine Lone Pair?

The torsional barriers of 2'-substituted 2-arylpyridines have been probed experimentally (by using dynamic NMR spectroscopy) and computationally (by using density functional theory). Due to the compressibility of the lone pair, the torsional barriers of th ...

Ultraviolet-visible absorption of small silver clusters in neon: Ag-n (n=1-9)

Wolfgang Harbich, Sylvain Lecoultre, Alexandre Rydlo

We present optical absorption and fluorescence spectra in the UV-visible range of size selected neutral Ag-n clusters (n = 1-9) in solid neon. Rich and detailed optical spectra are found with linewidths as small as 50 meV. These spectra are compared to tim ...
