  1. A Continuous Supersonic Expansion Discharge Nozzle For Rotationally Cold Ions Carrie A. Kauffman, Kyle N. Crabtree, Benjamin J. McCall Department of Chemistry, University of Illinois June 23rd, 2009

  2. Motivation • Molecular ions • Organic Reaction Intermediates • Combustion • Atmospheric Chemistry • Interstellar Chemistry Simulation of N2+ of the A 2∏u – X 2∑g+ (4-0) +

  3. Sensitive Cooled Resolved Ion BEam Spectroscopy Supersonic Source For more on the progress of SCRIBES, stay for the next two talks.

  4. Supersonic Expansion Barrel Shock Mach Disk Low Pressure Region High Pressure Gas Small Orifice • Adiabatic Process, dq = 0 • dU = dq –dw • dU = -PV • Tvib >> Trot > Ttrans , where Trot ~ 0.5-30 K

  5. Design Considerations • Maximize ion density • Modular • Leak tight • Robust • Compatible with SCRIBES
