Abstract

State-resolved experiments can provide fundamental insight into the mechanisms behind chemical reactions. Here, we describe our methods for characterizing state-resolved experiments probing the outcome of the collision between CO2 molecules and surfaces. We create a molecular beam from a supersonic...
