Reaction and electronic excitation in crossed-beams collisions of low-energy O(3P) atoms withH2

Abstract: Collisions of low-energy (5-20 eV), ground-state oxygen atoms with H2O and CO2 in a crossed-beams geometry lead to chemical reaction in the case of H2O to produce OH {A 2 X"*~ -A^n) emissions; and to inelastic electronic excitation in the case of CO2 to produce the CO2 (A x Bi-+X x A\) flame bands. Species identifications are made through known wavelengths and emission intensities in the range 300-400 nm. The measured difference in threshold energies for the two processes confirm the channels involved. These a… Show more

“…Collisions of O( 3 P) with H 2 O(X, 1 A 1 ) give rise to spectral radiation observed from the long wave infrared (~20-10 µ) [1][2][3] , through the infrared (10-1 µ) [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] and up to the vacuum ultraviolet (~0.25 µ), [10][11][12] depending on the relative collision energy. These emissions are important to characterize because they can be a significant background noise source for telescopes mounted on spacecraft in low-Earth-orbit or LEO.…”
