Ion and Electron Interactions at Thermal and Suprathermal Energies

Abstract

The flowing afterglow/Langmuir probe (FALP) apparatus has been used to study (i) dissociative electron attachment reactions of several haloethanes; (ii) the neutral products of the dissociative recombination reactions of several ground state polyatomic ions (using the FALP together with LIF and VUV spectroscopic techniques). The selected ion flow tube (SIFT) apparatus has been used to study (iii) the reactions of ions in the series (PH sub n) + (n=0 to 4) and the reactions of Kr+, Xe+, Kr2(+) and Xe2(+) with several molecular gases. Details of these studies are given in seven appendices to the report. (jhd)
