Deexcitation Probabilities of Ne(³P</sub>2</sub>) by Xe for the Case E &lt;&lt; D

Abstract

The deexcitaion probability calculation of the total Penning ionization cross section
for Ne(³P2) by Xe has been made in the region of the collisional energy from 18.5 to 38.1
meV. The experimental cross sections have been compared with the deexcitation probability
for Ne(³P2) by Xe. Considering the magnitude of the mean collisional energy with respect to
D, the application of the analysis in the case E >> D is expected to be more appropriate
than in the case E << D. For further insight into this results, it is also of great importance
to evaluate theoretical investigations of Ne(³P2) by Xe for the case E >> D.
