Part 1, "Experiment," contains eight in-depth studies, which illustrate the key experimental work being done in the field today:

• Chapter 1 provide a comprehensive review of the theory and application of inhomogeneous rf fields for the study of the dynamics of low-energy ion-molecules processes
• Chapter 2 describes the application of multiphoton ionization (MPI) for the preparation of reactant ion states
• Chapter 3 reviews the application of MPI schemes for state specific cross-section measurements involving transition metal cations
• Chapter 4 describes the development of the threshold photoelectron secondary ion coincidence (TESICO) method
• Chapter 5 presents the conceptual and practical aspects of a multicoincidence technique
• Chapter 6 details the experimental results obtained using the photoionization and differential reactivity methods
• Chapter 7 reviews the several recent crossed beam studies of charge transfer and collision-induced dissociation systems involving atomic and molecular ions
• Chapter 8 is a survey of 15 years of high resolution crossed beam scattering of protons with atoms, diatoms, and poly-atomic molecules

State-Selected and State-to-State Ion-Molecule Reaction Dynamics, Part 1: Experiment offers professionals a true state-of-the-science look at this fascinating and increasingly influential subject.
