On 01. Feb. 1994
Prof. D. Gerlich took over the group Gasentladungs- and Ionenphysik.
In addition to traditional studies of discharges (e.g. polymerization,
etching) various fundamental laboratory studies have been started. The aim
was to understand in detail all kind of plasmas, ranging from technical
applications to astrochemistry. Developing innovative ion guides
and low and high temperature ion traps and combining them with
lasers, molecular beams, sophisticated detectors etc., many unique
experimental studies became possible. Since his
retirement (30.09.2009), Prof. D. Gerlich has been actively engaged in
several laboratories in Prague, Basel, Köln and other universities.
Using techniques and
instruments developed in his laboratory, and pushing them to the limits, many
outstanding results have been obtained. For past and present activities see Publications and Invited talks. Recent

IR spectroscopy
of cold trapped molecular ions using He-tagging D. Gerlich J. Chin. Chem. Soc. 65 (2018) 637-653 This review summarizes experimental
activities to study the structure of molecular ions via He-tagging.
The method is based on the attachment of a weakly bond helium atom to a cold
ion followed by laser induced predissociation (LIP). The cover shows

of charged C60q+ ions (q = 1 - 3) has been used for measuring electronic and infrared gas phase
spectra, allowing astronomers to improve the identification of fullerenes in
