Cold Plasmas in Laboratory Astrochemistry: Protonated Ions and Carbonaceous Dust Analogues

Gordon Research Conference: “Plasmas with Complex Interactions - Exploiting the Non-Equilibrium"; New Hampshire, July 24-29, 2016In this contribution, the present research on plasmas of astrophysical interest of the Molecular Physics Department at CSIC are reviewed. Three subjects are studied: 1. Infrared spectroscopy of protonated ions of interest to the Interstellar Medium (ISM). 2. Application of astronomical radio reception techniques to detect stable and short lived species in cold plasmas 3. Generation of carbonaceous dust analogues by PECVD and high energy electron processingCo‐Authors Funding: Spanish grants CSD2009‐00038 “ASTROMOL”, FIS2010‐16455 EU grant ERC‐2013‐Syg 610256‐ “NANOCOSMOS”Peer Reviewe
