Hydrogen Balmer lines were observed in the plasma of a plane-cathode abnormal glow discharge in mixtures of argon or neon with hydrogen and in pure hydrogen. Intense spectral-line wing development was detected whenever argon was present in the plasma. This effect is related to the formation of H{sub 2}{sup +} ions in a charge-transfer reaction between metastable Ar{sup +} and H{sub 2} molecules.
