We shall briefly describe the main research areas, now in progress in our molecular
beam and laser group. The current activity includes our traditional molecular beam
work as well as other experiments carried out in the new labs of our Institute. Essentially
we present here the current progress on Crossed-beam and Beam-gas Chemilumine
scence, Laser-induced Beam Surface Reaction, Laser Analytical Chemistry, Laser-initiated
Reactions Studies by Chemiluminescence and Laser-induced Fluorescence, Spectroscopy
and Structure of van der Waals molecules. For each section recent results are
presented. Due to the basic scope of the present progress report the emphasis is made
on the new experimental developments as well as on the capabilities of both basic and
applied research techniques now operative in our group.
