Collisional relaxation of low lying electronically excited states of uranium: f/sup 3/ds/sup 2/(/sup 5/K/sub 5//sup 0/) and (/sup 5/L/sub 7//sup 0/)
Description:
Laser induced fluorescence techniques were used to measure the rates of electronic relaxation of atomic uranium in a beam-gas scattering apparatus. Cross sections for the collisional deactivation of the U f/sup 3/ds/sup 2/(/sup 5/K/sub 5//sup 0/) and (/sup 5/L/sub 7//sup 0/) states by H/sub 2/, D/sub 2/, HD, CH/sub 4/, N/sub 2/, and CO at room temperature are reported. Upper limits for quenching cross sections with He were also obtained. Relaxation of these uranium metastables by molecular hydr…
