Production of cold formaldehyde molecules for study and control of chemical reaction dynamics with hydroxyl radicals
Eric R. Hudson, Christopher Ticknor, Brian C. Sawyer +5
We propose a method for controlling a class of low temperature chemical reactions. Specifically, we show the hydrogen abstraction channel in the reaction of formaldehyde (HCO…
A pulsed, low-temperature beam of supersonically cooled free radical OH molecules
H. J. Lewandowski, Eric R. Hudson, J. R. Bochinski +1
An improved system for creating a pulsed, low-temperature molecular beam of OH radicals has been developed. We use a pulsed discharge to create OH from HO seeded in Xe during a…
Cold free radical molecules in the laboratory frame
J. R. Bochinski, Eric R. Hudson, H. J. Lewandowski +1
A special class of molecules that are important to many subfields in molecular dynamics and chemical physics, namely free radical molecules, now enjoy a significant degree of cente…
Phase Space Manipulation of Cold Free Radical OH Molecules
J. R. Bochinski, Eric R. Hudson, H. J. Lewandowski +2
We report bunching, slowing, and acceleration of a supersonically cooled beam of diatomic hydroxyl radicals (OH). \textit{In situ} observation of laser-induced fluorescence along t…
