Thermometry of stored molecular ion beams
Abstract The radiative cooling of a stored, initially rotationally hot OH $$^{-}$$ - ion beam is probed by photodetachment using an electrostatic ion beam trap combined with an in-trap velocity map imaging spectrometer, providing direct measurement of the time-dependent rotational population. The ro...
