He(3/sup 3/P) states excited in 1. 5- and 3. 0-keV He/sup +/---H/sub 2/ charge-transfer collisions

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. Lett.; (United States)
The linear polarization of 3889-A radiation in coincidence with scattered neutral particles has been measured for 1.5- and 3.0-keV He/sup +/--H/sub 2/ collisions at selected scattering angles. At one scattering angle the measurements show a stronger polarization than is presently observed in He/sup +/--He at any scattering angle; this result is surprising in view of the many final states available to the recoiling H/sub 2//sup +/ ion.
