Study of metastable rare gas collisions with halogens. Technical report June 1976--December 1977

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6853859
An atomic beam scattering apparatus has been modified to allow detailed dynamic investigations of inelastic and reactive scattering between fast beams of metastable excited rare gases and halogen-containing target molecules. The first system investigated was Ar + I/sub 2/. Detailed double-differential (angle and energy) measurements of the ion-pair formation channel have been completed and compared with the analogous reactions of alkali atoms with I/sub 2/. In addition preliminary measurements of the elastic scattering angular distribution and the total destruction cross section have been made.
