IGLIAS: A new experimental set-up for low temperature irradiation studies at large irradiation facilities.

We designed and built a mobile experimental set-up for studying the interaction of ion beams with solid samples in a wide temperature range from 9 to 300 K. It is either possible to mount up to three samples prepared ex situ or to prepare samples by condensation of molecules from gases or vapours onto IR or Visible-ultraviolet (Vis-UV) transparent windows. The physico-chemical evolution during irradiation can be followed in situ with different analysis techniques including Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Vis-UV, and quadrupole mass spectrometry.
