  • Abstract
    The rotational relaxation of N2 in collisions with He has been investigated in free jets with a combination of resonance-enhanced-multiphoton ionization spectroscopy and time-of-flight techniques. From the measured data, a global cross-section for rotational relaxation has been derived. The cross section grows from a value of ≈8 Å2 at 100 K to ≈18 Å2 at 5–15 K. For the weakest supersonic expansions investigated, a breakdown of the translational equilibrium between He and N2 has been observed, that could be well accounted for by an isentropic jet model and classical collision cross-sections.
