Abstract
Absolute cross sections have been measured for reactants typically found in carbon tetrafluoride discharges for collision energies below a few hundred electron volts. The reactions investigated include collision-induced dissociation and dissociative electron transfer reactions for and colliding with and collisional electron detachment for colliding with Also presented are measurements of energies and relative intensities of ions generated in dc Townsend discharges with values ranging from to [4 to 25 kTd]. Ion energy and ion intensity data for the Townsend discharges are analyzed in light of the measured cross sections.
