Abstract
Applying the velocity map imaging technique Penning ion formation as well as generation of associative ions is observed in autoionizing collisions of metastable neon atoms (Ne* 2p5 3s 3P2,0) with ground state argon targets in a crossed molecular beam experiment. Metastable neon reactants are obtained by nozzle expansion through a dc discharge ring. The quality of the obtained results clearly demonstrates the suitability of this new, particularly straightforward experimental approach with respect to angle and kinetic energy resolved investigations of Penning processes in crossed-beam studies which are known to provide the highest level of detail.
