New Excitation Unit for Rare Gas Continua in the Vacuum Ultraviolet

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An excitation unit for vacuum ultraviolet light sources based on a thyratron-controlled modulator has been developed to excite rare gas continua. With this unit the Hopfield helium continuum in the 580–1100 Å wavelength region is obtained with improved intensity and stability so that a bandwidth of slightly less than 0.25 Å can be used with a 2.2-m normal incidence vacuum monochromator and photo- electric scanning detection. The application of this excitation unit to study of the rare gas continua and to absorption cross-section measurements in hydrogen is illustrated.
