| - The absolute total fluorescence yield for the XeCl*(B,C) 2Σ1/2+ →2Σ1/2+ transition has beendeterminedfrom pulse electron-irradiated Xe/CFCl3 gas mixtures.Since no experimental resolution of the two formationpathways was achieved, individual, unquenched limiting yields for theexcited state, Xe* + CFCl3 → XeCl*+ .CHCl2, Go* =2.4 ± 0.6, and ionic recombination, Xe2++ Cl- + Xe → XeCl* + 2Xe,Go+ = 3.2 ± 0.5,reactions have been calculated by modeling the dependence of the totalfluorescent yield on xenon and halidegas pressure. Analogous experiments were also conducted for theformation of the XeI* exciplex from theirradiation of Xe/CF3I gas mixtures. Individual valuesfor the two component formation processes wereagain calculated from total gas yields, givingGo* = 0.31 ± 0.08 andGo+ = 4.5 ± 0.6. Theseyields arecompared to the predictions of current theoretical models, and theeffects of alternate recombination pathwaysare discussed.
