Quenching of N sub 2

Rate coefficient for primary process in removing molecular nitrogen in high vibrational levels from active nitrogen by N atoms

Mannella, G. G.↗

Study of excitation transfer in a flowing helium afterglow pumped with a tuneable dye laser. 1: Measurement of the rate coefficient for selected quenching reactions involving he(5 3P)

A system is described for the measurement of excited state reaction times in the nanosecond range. A flowing afterglow produces large populations of chemically unstable species, and a pulsed, tuneable dye laser is used to selectively pump these into the reacting excited state. The transient fluorescence from the populations of reactants and end products is used to determine reaction lifetimes and yields. This radiatron is collected with a photon counting system which logs arrival times of spectrally dispersed photons with 10 nanosecond resolution.
