Penning and associative ionization in the metastable neon-krypton system

  • 1. IRT Corporation, P. O. Box 80817, San Diego, California 92138

Description

Absolute and relative cross sections were obtained for the Penning-ionization (PI) reaction Ne* + Kr → Ne + Kr+ + e and the associative-ionization (AI) reaction Ne* + Kr → NeKr+ + e. The studies were made by a merging-beams technique for a relative kinetic energy of the reactants from nominally 0.01 to 10 eV for PI and 0.01 to 0.6 eV for AI. The Ne* respresents a composite of Ne(3s 3P2) and Ne(3s 3P0). At thermal energy the measured cross sections are compared with values obtained by beam-gas and beam-beam techniques
