Conclusions: Future Challenges and Perspectives
Résumé
The present chapter highlights the main discoveries and breakthroughs described in the previous chapters of this book that uniform supersonic flows have allowed during the last forty years in the field of physical chemistry. The accumulation of experimental data in the domain of very-low-temperature reaction kinetics has stimulated new developments in theoretical quantum chemistry and astrochemical modeling, some of which will be further emphasized. Although a considerable body of knowledge has been explored during these four decades, we will comment about the many remaining challenges and open questions that could be tackled further using CRESU environments. Exploring these fields should be facilitated in the near future thanks to the significant number of new instrumental diagnostic tools that are in development in several research groups worldwide. © 2022 by World Scientific Publishing Europe Ltd.
