Title: Electron spectroscopy of autoionizing states of noble gases

Journal Article · · J. Electron Spectros. Relat. Phenomena, v. 2, no. 1, pp. 1-12
OSTI ID:4336567

A high resolution electron spectroscopy technique is used to study the autoionization of noble gases excited by fast neutral noble gas atoms with 80 to 600 eV kinetic energy. The energy and notation of the excited states is determined by considering the proper quantum defects in the Rydberg series. The double excited states prevail over the singly excited ones. Like and unlike colliding pairs are studied and various excitation processes are suggested for the He-Kr, Ar-Kr and Ar-Xe systems. (auth)
