Ion-Induced Molecular Growth in Clusters of Small Hydrocarbon Chains

Michael Gatchell, Rudy Delaunay, Giovanna D'Angelo +7

We report on studies of collisions between 3 keV Ar${}^{+}$ projectile ions and neutral targets of isolated 1,3-butadiene (C${}_4$H${}_6$) molecules and cold, loosely bound clusters of the…
