Abstract:

Research concerning molecular and chemical lasers was conducted in the following areas Measurement of V yield V and V yield R, T rates among hydrogen halide molecules and the temperature dependence of the energy transfer rates previously determined for HF, DF, HFCO2 DFCO2 Systems, Vibrational relaxation studies of CO2 in the pressure range 1-100 atm, Chemical laser studies of the reaction of atomic oxygen and acetylene, Computer modeling of the CS2-02 chemical laser system, Chemical laser studies of the reaction of C3O2 with oxygen, Experimental study of the relaxation of CO2001 and HFv1 by collisions with H and F atoms, Studies of the influence of the influence of vibrational excitations on the reaction rate of atom exchange reactions e.g., HFv D2 yield HD DF.
