Energy dependence of the inelastic process Ba(6s6p1P1)+Ar,He→Ba (6s6p3P1,2)+Ar,He

The cross section of the inelastic transfer from Ba(6s6p 1P1) to Ba(6s6p 3P1,2) induced by collision with argon or helium is measured as a function of the collision energy. The existence of a 0.15 eV energy barrier in the formation of Ba(6s6p 3P1) is observed and allows to explain why Ba(6s6p 3P2) w...

Description
Summary:The cross section of the inelastic transfer from Ba(6s6p 1P1) to Ba(6s6p 3P1,2) induced by collision with argon or helium is measured as a function of the collision energy. The existence of a 0.15 eV energy barrier in the formation of Ba(6s6p 3P1) is observed and allows to explain why Ba(6s6p 3P2) was the only product formed in a previous cell experiment.
