Abstract

The vibrational relaxation of HCl in liquid xenon at −68°C has been studied. Vibrationally excited HCl is created following UV photolysis of HCl. The rate of relaxation of HCl as a function of HCl mole fraction in liquid xenon is the same as the corresponding rate for gas phase HCl at −68°C. Similarly the rate of relaxation of HCl in HClXe collisions is in good agreement with the corresponding gas phase rate. These observations imply that the isolated binary collision model is valid for this system.
