Abstract
The rate constants for vibrational relaxation of NO+ (v = 1) and NO+ (v = 4 ) in collisions with CH4 were measured from thermal to 1 eV center of mass collisional energy using a selected ion flow drift tube. These experimental data are interpreted theoretically using the semiclassical (classical path ) approach of Billing and the potential energy surface, constructed on the basis of the model of Gislason and Ferguson.
