Abstract
Ion storage ring technology allows molecular ions to be accelerated to MeV energies and stored for tens of seconds in an ultra-high vacuum ring system. By merging the ion beam with a cold electron beam in one section of the ring, a phase-space cooled ion beam with low divergence and low momentum spread is obtained. Infrared active molecular ions are also vibrationally cooled by spontaneous emission of radiation. A stored ion beam of this quality is ideal for studies of molecular processes such as dissociative recombination.
