Experiments with Size-Selected Clusters: From Condensation in Molecular Beams to Dust Particles in the Enceladus Plume

摘要

The size selection of clusters and typical applications are reviewed. These include the comparison of cluster distributions with simulations based on condensation theory, the presentation of the infrared spectroscopy of water cluster over a large size range, and the explanation of the icy grains and smaller clusters in the plume of the cryovolcanic Saturn moon Enceladus.
