Abstract
Measurements of the rates of collisional quenching of HgCl* and HgBr* (B 2 Sigma (+) 1/2) by rare gases and halogenated molecules are reported in this paper. HgCl* and HgBr* fluorescence is produced by photolyzing HgCl2 and HgBr2 respectively using Xe2* radiation. A background pressure of (Xe) > 100 torr ensures that the HgCl* and HgBr* is vibrationally relaxed. The rates are derived by using a modified Stern-Volmer analysis and estimated lifetime of the HgCl* and HgBr* (B 2 Sigma (+) 1/2) states of 29 nsec and 23 nsec, respectively. (Author)
