Description Chemistry of protoplanetary disks have focused on the inner (R<5AU) or
outer disk (R>100 AU) but not in the 5-30 AU region where giant planets
are formed. The hot organic chemistry of 5-30 AU region can be
explored with Herschel. We tentatively detected CH+ emission in four
disks at 72.14 micron. CH+ is a starting ion in the reaction network
leading to methane, HCN, of C2H2. Two of the disks are known to have
an inner gap up to virgul10AU. We propose to obtain deep observations of
three rotational transitions of CH+ with Herschel-PACS. The aims of the
proposals are:
1) confirm the detections,
2) study the excitation condistions of CH+ in disks,
3) explore the hot carbon chemistry in disks with our chemical code,
4) understand the role of inner gap in the disk chemistry.

Mission Description Herschel was launched on 14 May 2009! It is the fourth 'cornerstone' mission in the ESA science programme. With a 3.5 m Cassegrain telescope it is the largest space telescope ever launched. It is performing photometry and spectroscopy in approximately the 55-671 µm range, bridging the gap between earlier infrared space missions and groundbased facilities.
