โฆ Synopsis
Direct measurements of scattering cross sections for NHs in well-defined quantum states are made using a molcrular beam maser spectrometer. Cross sections are compared for a pure inversion state with those for a coherent superposition state for scattering gases He, Ar, Nz, N20, NHa, CFgH and CHaCN.The cross sectionsare significantly larger for scattering of the pure inversion state by NHs, CPaH and CHsCN than for scattering of the superposition state. The scattering is the same for both states on non-polar gases. These cross sections are related to relaxation parameters describing transitions between rotation and inversion states.

A new approach is described for obtaining absolute electron-impact cross sections for ionization, including the partial cross sections for multiple charge excitation and ion dissociation. The method benefits from the use of a supersonic molecular beam, pulsed ion source, and multichannel mass detect
