Differential scattering experiments on vibrational excitation in low-energy H+-CO2 collisions
Abstract
A crossed beam method was used to perform differential scattering experiments for the system H(+) on CO2 in the energy range 15-50 eV and for scattering angles 0-12 deg with an energy resolution of 40-60 meV. A strong inelasticity is observed for this system which is mainly due to vibrational excitation. Vibrational excitation is found to show a pronounced selectivity with respect to the various modes of CO2 which strongly depends on the scattering angle at a fixed collision energy.
