Reactive scattering using pulsed crossed supersonic molecular beams. Example of the C+NO→CN+O and C+N2O→CN+NO reactions

Abstract
The dynamics of the C+NO→CN+O and C+N2O→CN+NO reactions are reinvestigated using a pulsed supersonic crossed molecular beam apparatus. Laser vaporization of graphite at the exit of a pulsed nozzle is used to produce the atomic carbon beam. Laser induced fluorescence spectra of the CN scattered product have been obtained for both reactions.
