Spectral study of the luminescence produced by the excitation of noble gases by alpha-rays

Description

Luminescence spectra of the noble gases He, A, Kr and Xe are studied under excitation by α rays. It is shown that the energy is transferred from excited levels of these gases to Hg and N2 impurities for impurity concentrations respectively less than 106 and 104. These results confirm previous measurements concerning the period of luminescence and its variations versus nitrogen concentration in noble gases. (author)

Abstract (French)

On etudie les spectres de luminescence des gaz rares, He, A, Kr et Xe excites par une source intense de rayons α. Le transfert d'energie des etats excites des gaz rares sur les impuretes mercure et azote pour des concentrations respectives de ces impuretes inferieures a 1 ppm et 100 ppm est demontre. Ces resultats confirment les mesures anterieures concernant la duree de luminescence et ses variations avec la concentration d'azote dans les gaz rares. (auteur)
