Scientific paper

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Northern Arizona University is developing an ultra high vacuum analysis system to study the photolysis and radiolysis of ices. The investigation of these fundamental processes in ices have important applications in astrophysics, planetary astronomy and atmospheric physics. The system will incorporate photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and mass spectrometry as analytical techniques and will include a closed cycle helium cryostat for the growth of the ice samples. Processing tools will include x-ray and UV light sources and a low energy (up to several keV) ion source. The design and capabilities of this new system will be described and preliminary results will be presented concerning several simple ices.
