MASS-SELECTIVE LASER PHOTOIONIZATION. R. E. Smalley, Department
of Chemistry, Rice University, Houston, Texas 77001

	Within the past several years, new developments in laser 
technology have enabled a fantasitc advance in the spectroscipic 
investigation and analytic detection of polyatomic molecules.  In many
cases we can now reach single molecule counting sensitivity with
selectivity not only to a particular type of molecule, but even to a 
particular state of that molecule-all within a time frame of less than 
ten billionths of a second!  This talk will discuss recent developments 
and applications of this multicolor, mass-selective laser techniquye in 
the rather exotic environment of a hypersonic molecular beam.  Included
in the set of examples will be probes of (1) triplet formation and decay
in aromatic molecules, (2) molecular excimers and exciplexes, and (3)
metal cluster and dynamics in an ultracold pulsed hypersonic beam.
