Crash Course: When ions and atoms Collide!

Ever wondered what happens when ions and molecules collide at 1000 km/sec? In this session, we’ll dive into the fascinating world of electron capture or ejection, where highly charged ions snatch electrons from atoms or molecules. Using cutting-edge technology like the Electron Cyclotron Resonance (ECR) based ion accelerator, the COLTRIMS technique, electron spectroscopy, we can unravel these collisions in vivid detail, revealing the invisible dance of particles and its significance.
