Collisional Excitation and Radiation of Atoms and Molecules.

Abstract

The general objectives of this research project are to study collisional excitation of atoms and molecules and the radiation emitted by these excited atoms and molecules. For the 7/81-6/82 period our major efforts include (1) electron excitation of the xenon atom, (2) electron excitation of the nitrogen molecules, (3) a new technique for measuring electron excitation of metastable levels of atoms, (4) excitation of sodium atom by negative-ion impact.
