Electron transfer processes in biomolecular systems through atom-molecule collisionsDepartamento de Fisica, Universidade Nova de Lisboa, 2829-516 Caparica, Portugal Website: http://www.df.fct.unl.pt/~pmlv/lcam Research interests The main research goals are the study of the dynamics of negative ions formed by charge transfer in atom-molecule collisions with several molecular targets with the special attention to biomolecular systems. We make use of a crossed molecular beam machine, where a neutral hyperthermal potassium beam will cross at right angles an effusive molecular target and the negative ions formed in the interaction region mass spectrometric analysed. We are particularly interested on the complementary information obtained by this technique and comparisons with electron attachment experiments.
