1 Beam Action Spectroscopy via Inelastic Scattering BASIS Technique
Bobby H. Layne and Liam M. Duffy Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry, the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, Greensboro, North Carolina 27402 Hans A Bechtel, Adam H. Steeves and Robert W. Field Department of Chemistry, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02139

2 Talk Outline Photodissociation Experiments
Finding and Identifying an Anomaly Developing BASIS

3 Current Research Photodissociation of atmospheric molecules, characterizing quantum state distribution of products Crossbeam reaction dynamics Molecules studied - ozone, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, chlorine

4 Experimental Setup InSb Hot Electron Bolometer Vacuum Chamber with
Diffusion Pump Below Teflon Window & Lens ULN6 preamp InSb Hot Electron Bolometer mm-Wave Source Module Pulsed Slit Nozzle Wire Grid Polarizer Used as Attenuator Rotation controlled by computer Mm-Wave power monitored by pulse modulating source Tunable UV from doubled OPO
