Abstract

This chapter presents the experimental aspects of reactive scattering from neutral–neutral chemical reactions under single-collision conditions. It begins with a discussion of the principle of molecular beam sources, developments of reagent preparation, various detection methods of neutral products, and a typical signal calculation. Two main crossed-beam configurations are also summarized here: one with a rotatable ionizer mass spectrometer detector and the other one with velocity-map ion-imaging detection. The differential cross section is introduced and discussed in application to elastic, inelastic, and reactive scattering. Various mechanisms are illustrated in reactive scattering, such as harpoon, stripping, rebound, and long-lived complexes mechanisms. In the last part, recent developments and advances are summarized to show the power of crossed-beam techniques to study the chemical reaction dynamics.
