Photoelectron Imaging of Atomic, Molecular and Cluster Anions

Our research focuses on experimental probes of the electronic structure of atomic, molecular and cluster anions, as well as the corresponding neutral species. Our experiments offer an in-depth look at molecular bonding motifs and reactivity, made possible by photoelectron imaging spectroscopy.
