✦ Synopsis

Measurements have been made of the vibrational branching ratio iv = O)/(u' = 1) in Nz (C ' l$) formed in electronic energy transfer collisions between argon metastable atoms and ground state nitrogen molecules, using crossed molecular beams. In the relative collision energy range, 0.08-0.20 eV, this ratio is 3.5 5 0.2.
