Description
Statement of work. Northwestern University.
Period 1 (3 months)
• Build MOTION trap apparatus for cold reactions
Period 2 (12 months)
• Turn on MOTION trap
• Set up new femtosecond laser and pulse-shaping for rotational cooling
• Begin observations of ultracold ion-neutral reactions with state-controlled AlH+
Period 3 (12 months)
• Quantify ultracold ion-neutral reactions with state-controlled AlH+
• Begin studies of rotational resonances in Rb / AlH+ reactions
• Begin work with state-controlled SiO+
Period 4 (9 months)
• Complete study of rotational resonances with both molecular ion species
• Begin study of ultracold steric chemistry of SiO+ and AlH+
• Develop ability to load new species identified by Heaven group for rotational cooling
Option years
Period 5 (3 months)
• Continue ultracold steric chemistry studies with both species
• Rotational optical cooling new diagonal species identified by the Heaven group
Period 6 (12 months)
• Ultracold chemistry and rotational resonance studies of new species
• State-to-state ultracold chemistry exploiting hyperfine and/or steric control
Period 7 (9 months)
• Ultracold steric chemistry studies of new species
• Continue studies of state-to-state ultracold chemical reactions
