k0increases by 13 ± 3 % in the range 300 down to 210 K. k1decreases by 5 ± 2.5 % in the range 300 down to 210 K. Is it vibrational relaxation of v’ = 1 responsible for this difference?

The quenching rate constant of the N2(C 3Πu,v’ = 0) state by O2(X) decreases by (4 ± 2)% in the in the range 300 down to 210 K.
In the following talk by M.M. Fraga these results will be used to evaluate the temperature dependence of the emission intensity in N2 and N2/O2 mixtures Thank you for your attention !
