A flowing &e&low apparatus has been used to measure the cross section for Penning ionization of hvdrogen atoms by helium ZZ3S metastable atoms at thermal energy. The result was found to be 22 I 6'~ lo-l6 cm2 at 300Β°K, and protons were identified as the major ion product. A novel method employing arg

Cross sections for ionization of hydrogen atomi by metastabfe heli& atotis are caIcuIated using the best published values for the compIex potentiaL The present cross section for the singlet metaststabb'is quite different from . . previous determinations, The validity of the JWKB approximation has ken ~rified.

Separate Penning election spectra were measured resulting from the ionbation of H ator& by He(Z'S) and Hc(~~S) metastables in thermal collisions. From these results potential parameters of the dhtomics .&(2'S)-H('S) ('C) and He(23S)-H('S) (7 z) as well as the cross-section ratio uQinglet)/o(tripIet)
