Synchrotron radiation interaction with cryosorbed layers for astrochemical investigations [GA]

http://arxiv.org/abs/1810.10392


Photon-stimulated desorption (PSD) is a process of interest for the two seemingly unrelated topics of accelerator vacuum dynamics and astrochemistry. Here we present an approach to studying PSD of interstellar ice analogs, i.e. condensed films of molecules of astrophysical interest at cryogenic temperatures, using synchrotron radiation. We present results obtained in the VUV range on various pure and layered ices, focusing on elucidating the desorption mechanisms, and results in the X-ray range for H$_2$O.
