Excitation functions of the autoionization states 2s2p63s(1S) and 2s2p63s(3S) of Ne atoms colliding slowly with Na+ ions
Bydin Yu.F., Godakov S.S.
We investigated the excitation functions of the autoionization states 2s2p63s(3S) (E =43.36 eV) and 2s2p63s ([S) (E = 43.66 eV), which are close in energy but differ in multiplicity, of Ne atoms colliding with Na+ ions. Excitation of the autoionization state 2s2p63s(3S) of the Ne atom was seen to predominate at relative-motion energies up to W~ 150 eV.
