Beschreibungen/Notizen

• Helium and argon added to xenon are shown to increase markedly the formation rate of e-beam excited Xe*2 (1720-Å radiator) without decreasing the 1720-Å fluorescence efficiency. The measured association rate is interpreted in terms of three-body collisions among excited xenon atoms, ground state xenon atoms, and the added gas atoms to give rate constants of 5.0×10−32, 1.4×10−32, and 2.3×10−32 cm6 sec−1 for undiluted xenon, added helium, and added argon, respectively.
