  • Abstract
    Actinometric and time-to-threshold experiments with flash-initiated H2/F2/He mixtures have been modeled with the RESALE chemical laser code. Comparison of the salient features of both experiments with those predicted by the code determines the efficiency of our xenon flashlamp in dissociating F2. The results indicate that our 1000-J 20-μs full width at half maximum (FWHM) lamp is capable of dissociating 1.2 percent of the F2initially present in dilute F2/He mixtures.
