Abstract
It is shown that in the negative glow of a glow discharge in mixtures of neon with xenon (xenon contents of 5.5·10−3 to 2% of the total pressure P of the mixture) with P=15 torr and discharge currents i=40 mA (cathode diameter 30 mm), the 7s2P1/2, 3/2 levels of the Xe+ ion are excited by the charge exchange reaction Xem + Ne+ → Xe+* + Ne.
The effective cross section Q3/2 for excitation of the 7s2P3/2 level is estimated to lie between 10−14 and 10−15 cm2 and Q3/2≈6.5 × Q1/2, where Q1/2 is the effective cross section for excitation of the 7s2P1/2 level.
