Rate constants for this reaction have been measured for Xe(nf) over the range 26 < n < 43, and the negative ion products have been identified. The cross sections derived from these measurements are in good agreement with recent free electron attachment cross sections.69 ppengCopyright is held by the author, unless otherwise indicated.
