Dissociation Rates of Diatomic Molecules
Abstract
Absolute cross sections were measured for the electron-impact dissociation of simple molecules using a novel fast beam technique with multicoincident detection of the dissociation fragments. Translational energy released in the dissociation and product mass ratios were explicitly measured, allowing a detailed understanding of the dissociation mechanisms. The technique was applied to the molecules of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, chlorine, and other molecules. A detailed description of the measurement technique is presented together with the measured data.... Dissociation, electron impact, cross sections, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, chlorine.
