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

Quantum few-body dynamics in atoms and molecules are 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. Excited with ultra-short LASER pulses, these dynamics can be even resolved on attosecond time scale. We designed a new experimental setup to extend this development, enabling 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. Our setup combines 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.
