Abstract
Total cross sections have been measured for electron transfer from to , resulting in optically allowed transitions to ground state. A merged-beam technique was used to study the collisions in the energy range 0.1-7 eV. Structure in the curves of cross sections vs relative energy indicates that the excitation of oxygen plays an important role in the charge-transfer process. Cross sections for an endoergic process, giving , are of order ; cross sections for the exoergic processes leading to production of and are of order . Production of is nearly a resonant process; production of is apparently due to a cascade from .
