THE QUENCHING OF POTASSIUM RESONANCE RADIATION BY HYDROGEN AND DEUTERIUM

Abstract
The quenching of the resonance radiation of potassium by hydrogen and deuterium has been studied over the temperature range 71 °C to 83 °C. The quenching cross sections at 76 °C were found to be 1.56 × 10−16 cm2 and 1.10 × 10−16 cm2 respectively.
