In our group we have developed a crossed-beam imaging experiment to carry out kinematically complete studies of ion-molecule-reactions [1]. Here we report on the upgrade of our velocity map imaging spectrometer to three dimensional detection by including a time-of-flight measurement with a photomultiplier.
With this improved setup we have investigated the charge transfer reaction Ar+ + N2 → Ar + N2+. Relative cross-sections and angular distributions of N2+ in different vibrational modes have been studied as a function of collision energies between 0.3 and 2 eV. Unlike earlier investigations of this reaction [2][3], our results are in quite good agreement with recent theoretical predictions by Candori et al [4].
