F. Ruhl et al., SELECTIVE-POPULATION OF THE N=3 LEVEL OF HYDROGEN-LIKE CARBON IN 2 COLLIDING LASER-PRODUCED PLASMAS, Physics letters. A, 225(1-3), 1997, pp. 107-112
The possibility is investigated that charge exchange collisions betwee
n ions of a hot plasma (C6+) and cold plasma (C2+) are responsible for
selectively enhanced emission of the C5+ Balmer-alpha line emitted fr
om the interaction zone of the two colliding laser-produced plasmas.
