Objectives of the kirsch program:
Astrochemistry
- Are we missing aspects of the astrochemical diversity?
- Is it statistical chemistry that has developed over billions of years?
- Are there limits in the complexity of molecular diversity?
- Do the mechanisms/simulations envisaged in the laboratory still make sense?
Soleil upgrade
- What new science can we expect with the improved synchrotron source
- What upgrade of the CERISES instrument would make the best use of it
- What will be the impacts on ultimate performances of the instrument
- What is the best way to handle the 18 months shut down
Ion molecule chemistry
- Contribution to complex molecules /prebiotic molecules in ISM / planetary atmospheres?
- What best way to decipher effects of isomerism, chirality on astrochemistry
- Complementarity of solid / gas phase mechanisms to explain the chemical complexity of the ISM?
- Are there major routes of reaction that are still missing (elements , radical species, energy sources)
