Abstract

Collisional excitation of 3-keV C + scattered off He, Ne, Ar, Kr and Xe targets is investigated by means of translational energy spectroscopy. Various electronic transitions are unambiguously identified and their intensities as a function of the target identity and of the translational energy of C + are investigated. The present data clearly demonstrate that among the five targets used, He is the most effective collision gas in promoting certain excitation channels. No significant excitation is observed in collisions between C + and the two heavier target gases, Kr and Xe. The number of excitation transitions and corresponding intensities for 4-keV C + in collision with He are significantly different from their counterparts taken at 2-keV translational energy.
