Scientific paper

The formation of interstellar molecules has been traditionally studied in the gas phase, but over the years the importance of grains has become increasingly clear. As a result, laboratory astrophysics is shifting more and more in the direction of surface chemistry. This has lead to a wealth of new information about grain surface reactions under laboratory conditions. Unfortunately, these data are not yet in such a form that they can be directly implemented in large astrophysical models. Here I will show how Monte Carlo simulations can be applied to simulate the experiments to extract these input parameters. Using these input parameters, the same method is then applied to simulate the evolution of an interstellar grain under interstellar conditions.
