The project aims to study electron interactions with the hydroxyl radical (OH). OH is formed in plasmas and atmospheric environments when energetic particles interact with water. Emerging applications of plasmas in wastewater treatment, sterilisation and medicine will be built around OH chemistry. The high intensity of OH spectral emissions has made them useful for remote sensing atmospheric phenomena and diagnosing plasma properties. However, the poor understanding of electron interactions with OH limits our ability to reliably interpret these results. This project therefore aims to experimentally study electron interactions with the hydroxyl radical. The measured values will be applied in simulations that clarify the role of electron–OH interactions in plasma-like environments.

该项目旨在研究电子与羟基自由基（OH）的相互作用。当高能粒子与水相互作用时，在等离子体和大气环境中形成OH。等离子体在废水处理、灭菌和医学中的新兴应用将围绕OH化学而建立。OH光谱发射的高强度使其可用于遥感大气现象和诊断等离子体特性。然而，对电子与OH相互作用的理解不足限制了我们可靠地解释这些结果的能力。因此，本项目旨在实验研究电子与羟基自由基的相互作用。测量值将应用于模拟，澄清在等离子体环境中的电子-OH相互作用的作用。
