Ozone dosimetry

Ionic recombination rate constants were determined as described for XeF, by analyzing the later, linear, portion of the transformed kinetic curve and using ozone dosimetry and integrated kinetic traces. The overall exciplex fluorescence was isolated by subtraction of the X-ray and dimer xenon fluorescence intensities from the integrated fluorescence as before. However, the experimental resolution of the exciplex fluorescence yield into neutral reaction and ionic recombination components was not experimentally possible for this system. Therefore the fractional yields for each of the XeBr formation pathways, excited state reaction and ionic recombination, were calculated using experimental measurements of relative XeBr emission yields. 

The number of photons emitted from an irradiated gas sample were obtained by summing the integrated emission over the exciplex spectrum, and then correcting for the dimer rare gas fluorescence and X-rays. The irradiation energy deposited was measured using conventional ozone dosimetry [69], performed under identical conditions to the emission measurements.
