A comparison of balmer α, β, γ emission in collisions between H1+, H2+, H3+ and He, Ne, Ar

Abstract

Balmer α, β, γ emissions have been measured in collisions between H1+, H2+, H3+, and He, Ne, Ar in energy range of 50-150keV, using TN-1710 optical multichannel analysis system (OMA). The emission cross sections of Hα, Hβ, Hγ lines are given. The experimental results demonstrate that the emission cross sections of Hα,β,γ lines in H3+ +He, Ne, Ar collision systems are larger than those in H1+, H2+ +He, Ne, Ar, respectively.
