Balmer α emission in collisions of H, H+, H2+ and H3+ with N2, O2 and H2O
Abstract
The production of H-alpha radiation in the passage of H, H(+) H2(+) and H(+) ions through N2,O2 and H2O has been investigated within the energy range 3-100 keV. For the H2O target Doppler-shifted and unshifted H-alpha radiation were separately recorded. Cross sections have been determined for (1) the production of fast H(3s) atoms, (2) total H-alpha emission from the fast projectile and (3) H-alpha emission arising from dissociative excitation of H2O.
