Results of the crossed-beam investigation of the symmetric charge-transfer reaction of N2+ (X2Σg, ν = 0) with N2 (X1Σg, ν = 0) near 10 eV collision energy showed a symmetrically resonant channel with Δν = 0 as well as a series of inelastically scattered channels. Upon deconvolution to remove the Δν = 0 contribution, the inelastic Δν = 1, 2, and 4 channels were readily observed.

Charge Transfer Reactions

The crossed-beam method was used to investigate the charge-transfer reaction of CO+ (X2Σ+, ν = 0) with CO (X1Σ+, ν = 0). Scattering of CO+ demonstrates that several vibrational states are populated. At a collisional energy of 1.1 eV, transfer of translational energy to vibrational energy is shown to occur by changes of an even number of vibrational quanta.
