Fluorescence decay of the O+u and 1u states of Xe2

Abstract
Synchrotron radiation from the Stanford storage ring (SPEAR) was used to measure the radiative decay constants of the lowest‐lying excited electronic states of Xe2. Both a monochromator and interference filters were used in the fluorescence channel. The results suggest that at low pressures (PXeO+u and 1u manifolds.
