Abstract
We report the determination of the absolute rate constant of production by associative ionization collisions between crossed beams of Na atoms. New measurement techniques greatly improve the accuracy of rate-constant determinations in crossed-beam experiments. We find the rate constant to be (1.8±0.7)× . This value is appreciably larger than many of those previously reported.
