AROMA EXPERIMENT

Designed to probe, with microscale resolution, the molecular phase of cosmic dust analogues generated by the
Stardust machine and plasma reactors as well as meteoritic samples


Hassan Sabbah (IRAP, UPS, Toulouse, France)

Comprised of two parts: a microprobe laser desorption laser ionization chamber and a linear quadrupole ion trap connected to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer. Suitable for Vacuum Transfer Systems (VTS)

QUADRUPOLE TEMPERATURE PROGRAMMED DESORPTION (TPD) AND CATALYSIS AT THE ANALYSIS CHAMBER (STARDUST)

Intensity variation of each recorded mass fragment as a function of time / temperature. Very useful for single crystal studies. Information on surface reactions and molecular adsorption on surfaces

Koen Lauwaet (ICMM-Surfaces team)

Detection limits below 0.1% of a monolayer of adsorbate. Suitable for Vacuum Transfer Systems (VTS)
