Popis: A continuous, supersonic molecular beam is crossed at 90° with a radio-frequency guided ion beam in a tandem mass spectrometer. This experimental configuration makes possible measurements of the integral reactive cross-section as a function of collision energy with a much higher energy resolution with respect to previous experiments. For the reaction of Ar+ with H2 to form ArH+ a new feature is observed at a collision energy of about 0.05 eV. This is interpreted as a change in the reaction mechanism. When averaged over the appropriate thermal distribution our results are in good agreement with published values obtained in experiments using a room-temperature scattering cell.
