Observation Of A Broad Resonance In The 23S Excitation Of Helium By Electron Impact, G. B. Crooks, R. D. Dubois, D. E. Golden, M. Eugene Rudd Jan 1972

Observation Of A Broad Resonance In The 23S Excitation Of Helium By Electron Impact, G. B. Crooks, R. D. Dubois, D. E. Golden, M. Eugene Rudd

M. Eugene Rudd Publications

We have observed a broad P-wave resonance at about 50 eV primary energy in the angular distribution of electrons scattered after excitation of the 23S state of helium. The resonance has a width of about 15 eV and affects the differential excitation cross section by more than 3 orders of magnitude. It is suggested that this resonance is associated with the temporary formation of triply excited states of the negative helium ion.


Strong, Quasiperiodic Dependence Of Autoionization Shape Parameters On Projectile Energy In H+ + He Collisions, F. D. Schowengerdt, M. Eugene Rudd Jan 1972

Strong, Quasiperiodic Dependence Of Autoionization Shape Parameters On Projectile Energy In H+ + He Collisions, F. D. Schowengerdt, M. Eugene Rudd

M. Eugene Rudd Publications

Profiles of the 2s2 (1S) autoionizing state in He have been observed in the ejected-electron spectrum of H+ + He for small angles of ejection and for H+ energies of 6 to 150 keV. The shape parameter q shows an increasing dependence on projectile energy as the angle of ejection is decreased, with strong, quasiperiodic oscillations appearing at 10°.
