Empirical Regularities in the Behavior of the Dissociation Excitation Cross Sections in Collisions of Electrons with Cesium–Halide Molecules

Abstract

The behavior of the constants Ai. and αi that characterize the dependence of the dissociation excitation cross sections on the main quantum number of the upper energy level is analyzed for spectral series of the cesium atom in collisions of electrons with cesium–halide molecules. In addition to a similarity, some deviations from analogous regularities established previously for the halides of other alkali metals are also found.
