Description
This comprehensive handbook describes new experimental approaches for the growing number of chemists, physicists, and engineers working with atomic and molecular beams. With an emphasis on aspects of design, construction and proper data analysis, contributors explore many topics of microscopic chemical physics such as elastic, inelastic, and reactive molecular collisions, clusters, and free-standing jets. Also included are descriptions of experimental set-ups and examples of data obtained in molecular beam experiments, with clear explanations of their significance and importance. The book is a practical guide that will help in planning the structure of experiments and analysing their results.
