This thesis presents a quantum-state-resolved molecular beam study of the non-reactive scattering of methane (CH4) from a Ni(111) surface. It is one of the first experimental investigations in which the internal quantum state distribution of a polyatomic molecule is measured after surface scattering. The quantum state populations of scattered CH4 were probed by selective rovibrational excitation using a high-power continuous-wave (cw) infrared (IR) laser in combination with a cryogenic bolometer. This technique is introduced as Bolometric detection with Infrared Laser Tagging (BILT) and its experimental realization is described in detail. Example data illustrates the capabilities and the performance of the method. Scattering experiments w...
