An experiment for crossed beam imaging has been developed for kinematically complete studies of the reaction dynamics of ion-molecule collisions. Here we report on this technique and on recent results regarding the charge transfer reaction of Ar+ + N2. We speculate that the experimental observation of N2+ product ions with unexpectedly high vibrational excitation may be caused by a Feshbach scattering resonance and propose further theoretical work on this reaction. Furthermore we discuss how future collision experiments of molecular ions and clusters will utilize a radiofrequency 22pole trap for internal cooling of the ions prior to the interaction. © 2007 IOP Publishing Ltd.
