Abstract

This chapter focuses on hydrogen atom Rydberg tagging time-of-flight (HRTOF) crossed molecular beam apparatus, which was used for the research described in this thesis. In Sect. 2.1, I will introduce the general knowledge of molecular beam and crossed molecular beam and some history; HRTOF technique is described in Sect. 2.2; the vacuum system, detection and acquirement system, as well as the resolution of the apparatus are described in detail in Sect. 2.3.
