New Atomic Beam Studies at Low Energies.

Abstract

Final cross sections have been obtained for charge transfer between the ions O(+) and N(+) and the neutral atoms uranium and thorium. In the course of these measurements, cross sections were also obtained for some of the other charge transfer reactions. A second task completed was the measurement of cross sections for the reaction of Al(+) with molecular nitrogen and oxygen. Attempts were made to measurem cross sections for other processes involving these reactants but no measurable signals could be detected. A final set of experiments involved a search for a route for formation of H3O(+) using NO(+) as a precursor. No conclusive evidence for such a process could be found in the energy range covered by the experiments.
