Abstract

We report on the possibility to produce homonuclear vibrationally cold molecular ion beams (using D2+ as an example) via the interaction of cold electrons with a stored beam. We demonstrate that cooling of the vibrational degrees of freedom can be achieved within a reasonable time, which is comparable to the beam lifetime. We also present preliminary results on the electron impact vibrational excitation of HD+.
