COST Action MD-Gas (mdgas.eu) Working Group 1: New high-performance instrumentation and experimental methods - "Dynamics of molecules and clusters in cryogenic environments"

25 August 2022, Stockholm, Sweden

The focus of this specialized meeting will be technical achievements and challenges in the experimental study of gas-phase molecular dynamics, especially in cryogenic environments.

Sessions including presentations and panel discussions will be held on the following topics:

• Particle detectors and detection schemes for cryogenic environments - Toshiyuki Azuma (RIKEN) chair
• Action spectroscopy methods in cryogenic environments - Christine Joblin (Toulouse/CNRS) chair
• Merged beams experiments in cryogenic environments - Andreas Wolf (MPIK) chair
