Abstract: This paper reported an observation of the chemiluminescence in the 400～900 nm spectral region produced by the crossed molecular beam reaction of F(~2P) with CH_2Br_2, as well as the reaction mechanism. Under single collision condition, only vibrationally excited HF~≠(X,V) (V≤3) can be observed. In the case of multicollision, in addition to V≤3, HF~≠(X,V) with V>3 and electronically excited Br_2~*(B), BrF~*(B) have been detected. The equilibrium rotational temperature for HF(3,0) band is 320 K, and the relative population ratio of different V levels of HF is N_3:N_4:N_5=0.69:1.00:0.12.
