Measurements of Selected Charge Transfer Processes at Low Energies.

Abstract

A crossed beam technique has been used to investigate the charge transfer process n(+) + O yields N + 0(+) in the low energy regime (0.5 to 5 eV in the center-of-mass system). Oxygen atoms were formed by three different techniques; thermal dissociation, rf discharge, and microwave discharge. All three sources provided oxygen atoms but certain disadvantages of each complicated the measurement procedure. Preliminary data indicated that the cross section for the process in the energy range of interrest is between 5 x 10 to the minus 18th power and 2 x 10 to the minus 17th power sq cm. (Author)
