Abstract: | The differential cross section for the processK(42 S)+N2, CO→K(42 P)+ N2, CO is presented for reduced scattering angles τ<2·104 eV deg. The inelastic process is identified by determining the time-correlation between the inelastically scattered potassium atom and the emittedK(42 P→42 S)photon. The performance of different coincidence techniques is compared. From the differential cross sections values for the position of the curve crossing responsible for the excitation process are derived (R c=2.77, 2.48 Å andV(R c )=0.55, 1.00 eV for K-N2, CO respectively). The values indicate that the lowest ionic intermediate state of the form K+-N 2 ? , CO? is responsible for the excitation process. |
