Abstract
The rate constant for collisional removal of the v′=0 level of the A 2Σ+ excited state of the OH radical by NH3 is measured over the temperature range 250–1400 K. The thermally averaged cross section σQ near room temperature is roughly twice its value at 900 K of ∼40 Å2. Between 850 and 1400 K, no variation of σQ with temperature is observed. This temperature dependence is consistent with a quenching mechanism dominated by long range attractive forces.Keywords
