Abstract :
The radiative lifetime of the blue 
transition of XeF has been measured to be 93 ± 5 ns by monitoring the exponentially decaying 460 nm emission following rapid electron impact dissociation of XeF2 . By varying the XeF2 partial pressure, the rate constant for quenching of XeF ( 
) by XeF2 was determined to be 
cm3. s-1. Finally, knowledge of the XeF B and C state lifetimes yields a revised value of 610 ± 60 cm-1for the 
to state energy defect.
