Abstract
Using the molecular beam chemiluminescence technique for the reaction of samarium with N2O, the averaged elastic scattering cross-section of samarium with different closed-shell inert gases is measured and the relative probability for the collision-assisted intramolecular energy transfer (CAIMET) from metastable to radiative SmO states has been est imated. The relative CAIMET probability represents a gross average val ue for undefined metastable states to radiative states of SmO. (C) 199 7 Elsevier Science S.A.
