The Center for Gas-Phase Electron Spectroscopy is a multi-user, shared instrumentation facility within the Chemistry Department at The University of Arizona. The focus of research in the Center is the investigation of the electronic structure of large, neutral molecules by gas-phase photoelectron spectroscopy.

Facility News

•   The facility hosted the ACS-PRF Summer School on Molecular Photoelectron Spectroscopy for Chemical Research and Education, June 12-16, 2005.  See the Summer School Website for more information.
