Abstract
The relative quenching of vibrational states in N+2(B 2Σ) has been studied in gas mixtures of He and N2 excited by He resonance radiation (50.4 nm). The quenching rate coefficient for the v = 1 state by N2 is estimated to be 2×10−9 cm3/s, which is approximately twice the reported value for quenching of the v = 0 state. Relative quenching of N+2(B 2Σ) by He was found to be unmeasurably small.
