TrapRemi - A Device to Investigate the Quantum Dynamics of Molecular Ions — •Frans Schotsch, Ludwig Hoibl, Denis Djendjur, and Robert Moshammer — Max-Planck-Institute for Nuclear Physics

The investigation of quantum few-body dynamics in atoms and molecules is of fundamental interest for physics and chemistry. Enabled by the innovation and development of Reaction Microscopes (REMIs) during the last two decades, reactions such as ionization, dissociation and geometrical reformation can be investigated in an angle-resolved and kinematically complete manner. Combined with short-pulse laser systems, these dynamics can be even resolved on attosecond time scale. The TrapRemi extends this development to enable similar investigations in charged systems: atomic and molecular ions of arbitrary charge and mass. These systems are of high interest since they often play key roles in astrochemical reactions as for example the Trihydrogen cation. For this purpose, we designed a new experimental setup: The combination of a linear electrostatic ion trap (Zajfman-Trap) with a REMI. This poster describes the project progress from first ion optics simulations to successful ion storage.
