Collisions of hydrogen with rare gases. I, Polarization of Lyman-α-radiation

1968
The polarization of Lyman-a radiation in collisions between hydrogen and He, Ne, Ar has been measured in the energy-range from 3-55 kev. The low energy data are taken using deuterium. In all three cases we find positive polarizations over the entire energy range. The absolute values of the polarization arc not accurate enough to correct total cross-section measurements in which the emitted radiation is observed under an angle of 90°with respect to the beam direction [1, 2].
