Abstract

Flowing tube apparatuses have been used to study a variety of electron and ion processes at thermal energies. We describe a new technique, variable electron and neutral density attachment mass spectrometry (VENDAMS), which has enabled measurement of rate coefficients for electron attachment to unstable radical molecules and other transient species and for mutual neutralization reactions of anions with noble gas cations, along with, in favorable cases, determination of neutral products of mutual neutralization. Additionally, the method has yielded evidence of a new ternary reaction in which an electron third body enhances anion–cation neutralization at high plasma densities.
