Crossed-Beam Investigation of N2D+ Production in N2+—D2 Collisions

Abstract
The reaction N2++D2→N2D++D has been studied in a crossed‐beam experiment. The angular distribution of the secondary ions was determined with a movable quadrupole mass filter. Differential cross sections have been obtained within the energy range 7.5 to 57.5 eV. Total cross sections for this reaction have been determined using another crossed‐beam apparatus in which the product ions are collected in toto. Total cross sections were also derived from the angular measurements, but less reliance is placed in these values.
