Total elastic cross sections for metastable argon on xenon

Journal Article · · Bulletin of the American Physical Society
OSTI ID:281182
Total scattering cross sections have been measured using single beam attenuation of a metastable argon atom mixed {sup 3}P{sub 2,0} beam scattered from xenon. After relative velocity and angular corrections are made, preliminary data give a total scattering cross section of 700 {plus_minus} 65 {Angstrom}{sup 2} (at a relative velocity of 1000 m/s) is found. Earlier experiments give a total cross section for metastable argon atoms scattered from xenon of approximately 754 {Angstrom}{sup 2} and 580 {Angstrom}{sup 2} (at 1000 m/s).
