Rate constants for energy transfer in carbon monoxide
A large number of rate constants for vibrational energy transfer in CO-CO collisions, including both single quantum and multiquantum processes, where at least one of the colliding molecules is in a highly excited vibrational state, have been calculated. A semiclassical method has been used together with an updated interaction potential.
