A Study Of He+ + Ar Collisions At Energies Between 600 Ev & 1500 Ev, Alton Dull Jr.

Masters Theses & Specialist Projects

This investigation was undertaken in order to confirm and to extend earlier studies of processes whereby energy and angular momentum are transferred from external to internal degrees of freedom in low velocity collisions between ions and atoms. Specifically, this investigation sought to verify the proper functioning of a device designed to study low velocity atomic and molecular collisions, to confirm results obtained in an earlier study of spectra produced by collisions of He⁺ions with argon atoms, and to extend the energy and wavelength ranges of this study to 1500 eV and 6200 Å, respectively.
