Oh(a, x) Production in Electron-Water Collisions Probed by Direct and Laser Induced Fluorescence.
Abstract
A crossed electron- supersonic gas beam system, coupled with photon detection in the 300 nm region, has been used to study production of OH in dissociating collisions. Use of LIF techniques enables the X state to be studied with rotational resolution. Particular attention has been paid to the near threshold region where both singlet and triplet parent repulsive states of water can feed OH(A,X). In this region the A state is predominantly populated by spin exchange collisions whereas the ground X state is populated by dipole allowed transitions in the parent molecule. * Research supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.
