Interactions and Collisions of Electrons With Atoms and Molecules
Abstract
The research conducted under this project is in the general area of atomic and molecular collisions. The optical method has been a very successful tool for measuring electron-impact excitation cross sections. The experiments outlined in the preceding paragraph provides a new approach for studying excitation into the resonant levels. To determine the cross sections for exciting a resonant level, one must detect the radiative transitions from the resonant level to the lower non-resonant levels as well as to the ground level and measure their optical emission cross sections.
