Abstract
Laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy has been applied for the first time on a stored fast molecular ion beam. The rotational temperature of the N-2 (+) ion beam was studied as a function of storage time. For up to 1 s of st orage time, a temperature of 1040 K can be used to describe the rotational energy distribution. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
