“…For a test of this prediction and a further test of the assumed reaction scheme we exchanged the target gas H 2 by He and Kr-gas. From a comparison of peak heights for the different target gases together with the known polarizabilities of Hz, He and Kr [11] and with values of the cut-off parameter a for He and Kr from Schoenbeck [12] we found the value of a for H 2 to be 6.2 a o (see Table 1). Values of a calculated from He and from Kr measurements agree well.…”
