Abstract

The rate constants for vibrational relaxation of NO+ in collisions with He are calculated using the semiclassical (classical path) approach of Billing and the interaction potentials, constructed by us on the base of the model of Gislason and Ferguson. An encouraging agreement of the theoretical results with near thermal selected ion flow drift tube data is achieved. The role of the anisotropy of the interaction potential in the vibrational relaxation process is also investigated.
