RESEARCH ACTIVITY USING MOLECULAR-BEAM AND LASER TECHNIQUES - A PROGRESS REPORT

We shall briefly describe the main research areas, now in progress in our molecular beam and laser group. The current activity includes our traditional molecular beam work as well as other experiments carried o ut in the new labs of our Institute. Essentially we present here the c urrent progress on Crossed-beam and Beam-gas Chemilumine scence, Laser -induced Beam Surface Reaction, Laser Analytical Chemistry, Laser-init iated Reactions Studies by Chemiluminescence and Laser-induced Fluores cence, Spectroscopy and Structure of van der Waals molecules. For each section recent results are presented. Due to the basic scope of the p resent progress report the emphasis is made on the new experimental de velopments as well as on the capabilities of birth basic and applied r esearch techniques now operative in our group.
