The quenching of metastable Ar, Kr and Xe atoms by halogen molecules via an electron jump mechanism is examined by using the multiple curve-crossing formalism of Bauer, Fisher and Gilmore. Cross-sections for the quenching process are calculated which are found in good agreement with experiment. Finally, the model presented here is compared with other quenching mechanisms.
