Sanzone, G.

Under this contract, the following goals were set. (1) Development and construction of an experimental system for the study of the kinetics of excimers, and demonstrate the validity of the low-pressure approach to such studies. The apparatus was to consist of the following: (a) cluster-molecular-beam source of van der Waals dimers and higher oligomers; (b) modulated-beam mass spectrometer; (c) low-energy electron beam for the production of excimers; (d) vacuum-ultraviolet to Visible detection and photon-counting system to monitor excimer emission; (e) flash-excited tunable laser for studies of resonant self-absorptions. (2) Form Ar/sub 2/ in its van der Waals ground state. (3) Produce Ar/sub 2/* by electron bombardment of Ar/sub 2/. (4) Perform fluorescence and photon absorption studies of Ar/sub 2/*. At the end of the contract period, goals 1 and 2 have been met; experiments 3 and 4 have been designed.
