ICARE
ICARE is a versatile setup which consists in a pulsed molecular beam source coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Various radical and ion sources (electric discharge, pyrolysis, laser photolysis, electron gun, laser desorption) can be combined with the skimmed supersonic expansion. The ionization step can be performed by laser (UV multi-photon or VUV one-photon processes) or by electron impact ionization.
