Cover Story: This review emphasizes the importance of gas phase studies of atmospheric trace gases and their ions through an accurate interplay between the experimental apparatus present at the synchrotron ELETTRA (Trieste, Italy) facility and a computational methodology adapted and developed based on experimental evidence. However, these experiments have some limitations that could be overcome with the construction of novel Free Electron Lasers and with mass spectrometric techniques and spectroscopies coupled with different ion sources. These laboratory studies will be used to develop more realistic theoretical models that account for ions produced by cosmic rays in the atmosphere, a challenging topic connecting cosmic rays to climate changes.
