Abstract: | Collisions of excited Cd 53P1 atoms were investigated using atomic fluorescence spectroscopy. Cadmium vapor, together with a quenching gas, was irradiated in a quartz fluorescence vessel with Cd 3261 Å resonance radiation and the intensity of the resulting resonance fluorescence was monitored in relation to the gas pressures. The experiments yielded the following cross sections Q10 (in A2) for collisional transfer 53P1→53P0: CdAr=2×10?3, CdN2=8.0, CdH2=7.0, CdCO=15.6. The cross sections Q for collisional deexcitation to the ground state (quenching) in A2 are CdN2 = 2.6×10?2, CdH2 = 11.0, CdCO = 3.4, CdCO2 = 26. |
