Abstract
The use of rare gas matrices for the detection of a variety of low-energy metastable species, particularly those from atoms with an np4 outer electron configuration, is discussed in detail. The historical development of the detector is outlined and its performance as a function of rare gas, matrix temperature, and metastable species is discussed. Examples of its use are given for electron impact dissociation of a wide variety of oxygen and sulfur containing targets.
