This document discusses observations of six lensed starburst galaxies at redshift ~2.5 using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA). The key findings are:
1) ALMA detected emission and absorption lines of the CH+ molecule in the spectra of five out of the six galaxies, indicating dense shocks and highly turbulent reservoirs of cool gas extending over 10 kiloparsecs outside the starburst regions.
2) The broad CH+ emission lines trace shocks moving at ~40 km/s within dense gas, while the absorption lines reveal turbulent reservoirs with velocities of ~400 km/s.
3) The turbulent reservoirs have radii of 10-20 kilopar
