State‐to‐state cross sections for rotational excitation of OH by collisions with He and Ar

State resolved rotational excitation cross sections and rates in H2+H2 collisions

Rotational transitions in molecular hydrogen collisions are computed. The two most recently developed potential energy surfaces for the H2−H2 system are used from the following works: 1) A.I. Boothroyd, P.G. Martin, W.J. Keogh, M.J. Peterson, J. Chem. Phys., 116 (2002) 666, and 2) P. Diep, J.K. Johnson, J. Chem. Phys., 113 (2000) 3480; ibid. 112, 4465.

Differential and integral cross sections in OH(X) + Xe collisions.

Differential cross sections (DCSs) for inelastic collisions of OH(X) with Xe have been measured at a collision energy of 483 cm(-1). The hydroxyl (OH) radicals were initially prepared in the X(2)Π3/2 (v = 0, j = 1.5, f) level using the hexapole electric field selection method. Products were detected state-selectively by [2 + 1] resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization of OH, combined with velo...

Rotational excitation of HDO and D2O by H2: experimental and theoretical differential cross-sections.

We present state-to-state differential cross sections (DCSs) for rotationally inelastic scattering of HDO by normal- and para-H(2) at collision energies of 580 cm(-1) and 440 cm(-1). (2+1) resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization is used to detect rotationally cold HDO molecules before collision and as scattering products, which occupy higher rotational states due to collision with H(2). Relat...

Cross Sections for Electron Collisions with NF3

Differential cross sections for collisions of hexapole state-selected NO with He.

The first measurements of differential inelastic collision cross sections of fully state-selected NO (j=12, Omega=12, epsilon= -1) with He are presented. Full state selection is achieved by a 2 m long hexapole, which allows for a systematic study of the effect of parity conservation and breaking on the differential cross section. The collisionally excited NO molecules are detected using a reson...
