Generation of cold polyatomic cations by cascade reactive two-body ion-atom collisions

Wei-Chen Liang, Feng-Dong Jia, Fei Wang +8

Polyatomic cations ${}^{87}$Rb${}_M^{+}$ ($M$ = 2, 3,$\dots$) have been produced by cascade two-body ion-atom reactive collisions in the two-step CW-laser photoionization of laser-coole…
