The repulsive 1 Sigma g/+/ He2 potential obtained from total cross sections

An improved apparatus for obtaining short-range molecular potentials is described. The setup is a refined version of that used by Jordan-Amdur and by Leonas. The ion source is provided with a mass analyzing magnet, the capacitance manometer in the scattering cell is calibrated with a McCleod gauge, and the detection unit substitutes a Channeltron multiplier for the thermopile. The measured ground-state He-He potential for radii between 0.49 and 1.56 A is approximately V(r) = 215 x exp(-3.95r) eV, which is 25% higher than the earlier experiments. The result is supported by molecular orbital and statistical model calculations.
