Collisional Energy Transfer Probabilities for Vibrationally Excited OH

对氢氧根分子发射的观测用于研究大气中顶区域的温度、结构和动力学。为了解释不同OH波段强度比值的变化，需要对速率常数、碰撞能量转移和不同振动能级的居群有准确的了解。本实验室研究将使用最先进的激光光激发技术来研究特定状态的速率常数和碰撞能量转移，重点是高振动水平。

Observation of the emission from the OH molecule is used to investigate the temperature, structure and dynamics of the mesopause region of the atmosphere. In order to interpret the variations of the ratios of different OH band intensities requires an accurate knowledge of the rate constants, collisional energy transfer, and population of the various vibrational levels. This laboratory study will use state of the art laser photo excitation techniques to investigate state- specific rate constants and collisional energy transfer with emphasis on the high vibrational levels.
