The charge transfer reaction Ar + + N 2 → N +2 + Ar. Crossed-beam measurements of the integral cross section as a function of the collision energy

A guided-ion beam tandem mass spectrometer coupled with a supersonic molecular beam is used to measure the integral cross section for the charge transfer reaction of Ar + to N 2 as a function of the collision energy, from 0.09 to 60 eV. Energy thresholds for the production of N + 2 in different vibr...

Summary:A guided-ion beam tandem mass spectrometer coupled with a supersonic molecular beam is used to measure the integral cross section for the charge transfer reaction of Ar + to N 2 as a function of the collision energy, from 0.09 to 60 eV. Energy thresholds for the production of N + 2 in different vibrational and electronic states are observed in high resolution measurements of the energy dependence of the cross section.
