Title: Cross-sections for Balmer-alpha excitation in heavy-particle collisions

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6627679· OSTI ID:6627679

Doppler shifted and unshifted Balmer-alpha radiation has been observed in the absolute sense for energetic H/sup +/, H/sub 2//sup +/ and H/sub 3//sup +/ ions incident on molecular hydrogen by the method of decay inside the target within the energy range of 20 keV to 150 keV. Most of the measurements were based on single-collision conditions, but a simple thick-target experiment has been tried for the case of dissociative excitation of the target molecules by H atoms.
