- Abstract
- The absolute cross section for associative ionization in H(1s) + H(3s) and D(1s) + D(3s) collisions has been measured, in the energy range 0.006-3.6 eV, in a merged beam apparatus. The 3s state is populated by exciting metastable atoms, with CW laser radiation, in a static field. For both isotopes, the cross section exhibits an E-1 behaviour at low energy, and a faster decrease above the ionization threshold of the 3s state. In the intermediate energy region, isotope-dependent oscillations of the cross section are observed, which we attribute to interferences between several reaction pathways.
