Angular distribution →Differential  collision cross section (structure, dynamics, reactions)

Results obtained from test systems such as Ta⁺ + Ne/N₂/CO have demonstrated the sensitivity of the method, which we expect to be established as a new tool for static (structure) and dynamic (fragmentation, energy transfer, reactivity, etc.) studies of large gas-phase molecules and clusters
