Astrochemistry plays an increasingly important role in our understanding of physics in the Universe as current and future observatories explore the molecular universe. This understanding is aided through the development of chemical kinetic modeling aimed at identifying chemical pathways and molecular diagnostics of the physics of molecular clouds and star formation. Such models include many processes important also in plasma chemistry including cation and anion reactions, excited state chemistry and surface chemistry with quantitative information supplied by advanced laboratory experiments and theoretical calculations.
This meeting provides an opportunity to discuss the latest observational results from the Herschel Space Observatory, future possibilities with the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA), together with the latest results from laboratory experiments on gas-phase and surface chemistry.
The meeting will be hosted by the Plasma and Materials Processing Group at the Eindhoven University of Technology and will allow for parallels between astrochemistry and plasma chemistry to be explored.
