Spectroscopy and dynamics in helium nanodroplets

This article provides a review of recent work in the field of helium nanodroplet spectroscopy with emphasis on the dynamical aspects of the interactions between molecules in helium as well as their interaction with this unique quantum solvent. Emphasis is placed on experimental methods and studies introducing recent new approaches, in particular including time-resolved techniques. Corresponding theoretical results on the energetics and dynamics of helium droplets are also discussed.
