Information Theory Analysis of Deactivation Rates in Chemical Lasers.

Abstract

The Information-Theoretical method is used to synthesize a vibrational deactivation rate package for HF-HF collisions. The results give a good description of available experimental data, including the temperature dependence of the 1 0 rate. Other applications of Theory which are considered, include rotational relaxation and a Populations' Evolution in Time solution to the master equation. (Author)
