Low-Energy Collisions of Excited Atoms.

Abstract

The report describes molecular beam studies of ion pair production, chemiionization, and measurements of the fraction of excited Na atoms in a composite beam or gas of ground state and excited Na atoms. Some of the experiments involved laser excited Na as a reactant. Included are investigations of excited Na-Na, Na-Cl, metastable He-Li, Li-Cs, and Li-excited Na systems.
