A method is given for tracing quantitatively small quantities of oxygen (down to 10/sup -5/ parts in 1) in mixtures of oxygen and nitrogen. The method is based on the effect of the ionization of oxygen molecules in a mixture of oxygen and nitrogen by radiation emitted by nitrogen molecules with ionization potentials U/sub O2/ < U/sub N2/ and the energy of radiation between U/sub O2/ and U/sub N2/. Coefficients of absorption and intensities of this ionizing radiation are given in dependence on the concentration of oxygen. A radiation emitted by nitrogen and ionizing nitrogen itself is traced and its coefficient of absorption ( mu approximately 750 cm/sup -1/) and its intensity are measured. (auth)
