UHV

Employing chemical processing (electrons and ultraviolet) to experimentally understand how complex organic molecules form and are stable on interstellar ice analogs

Novel methods to traceably measure the quantum efficiency and stability of superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs).

Using supersonic molecular beams and time-resolved FT-RAIR Spectroscopy under ultra-high vacuum to examine how impinging molecules adsorb, react, or diffuse into frozen ice films.
