• Implement a new experimental programme in order to investigate the electronic structure, in energy and momentum, of molecules of applied importance. • Develop techniques to achieve target beams of in-tact thermally sensitive neutral molecules for electron scattering measurements, dramatically expanding the number of feasible targets. • Deliver accurate benchmark data to assess accuracy of quantum chemical models used to predict radiosensitizing potential

• To implement a new experimental programme in order to investigate the electronic structure of thermally labile biomolecules • To develop a new technique to achieve target beams of in-tact nucleobases to allow electron scattering measurements from these molecules for the first time • To deliver accurate data for evaluation of quantum chemical models that describe the physico-chemical properties of molecules.
