Internal Rotation Group

Our research combines theory with experiment By combining laser experiments with accurate calculations, new information on some very well studied molecules is obtained, information that could never be found from one without the other. For example, this approach shows that new ways of thinking about methyl torsion are needed.

Current experiments include zero kinetic energy excitation of the torsional spectra of radical cations in conjunction with resonance multiphoton ionization spectroscopy in supersonic jets.
