A Feasibility Study：Superimposed Beams: A Technique for Determing Two-Body Reaction Cross Sections

摘要

Crossed molecular beams cannot be utilized to measure two-body reaction cross sections for arbitrary reactants due to difficulties of production and detection of all but a few selected species. However, a wide range of reactants can be produced in fast (kev) beams and can be individually detected. Similarly, the reaction products resulting fromnsuperimposing two fast beams could be individually detected.nThe feasibility of accurately determining two-body reaction cross sections by a superimposed beam technique has been investigated.
