Laser-induced fluorescence study of the quenching of Cl((2)p(1/2)) in collisions with N-2 molecules and rare gas atoms

Taketani F, Yamasaki A, Takahashi K, Matsumi Y

The rate constants of physical quenching of Cl((2)p(1/2)) in collisions with N-2 molecules and rare gas atoms (Rg = He, Ne and Ar) at 295 2 K were investigated using a technique of vacuum ultraviolet laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. The rate constants determined are (7.6 +/-0.8) x 10(-15), (5.7 +/- 0.3) x 10(-14), <= 8 x 10(-16) and <= 5 x 10(-16) cm(3) molecule(-1) s(-1) for collision partners of N-2, He, Ne and Ar, respectively.
