Proton Impact Excitation of Positive Ions

  • Chapter
Atoms in Astrophysics

Abstract

In hot hydrogenic plasmas with an impurity content of heavier elements, the emission spectrum and the distribution of the impurity ionization stages are largely determined by electron impact processes. There are, however, particular instances where transitions are caused preferentially by proton impacts. In addition to modifying the plasma characteristics, such transitions have a special utility as diagnostic probes of the proton component of the plasma.
