Abstract

An emission band extending from 2200 to 3000 Å has been observed following proton beam excitation of Ar-Cl₂ mixtures which is much more intense than the emission from Ar-N₂. The emission band was assigned to a bound-free transition in the chlorine molecule. The energy precursor of excited Cl₂ is the excimer Ar₂* which emits a 1300-Å continuum. Ion-ion recombination can also contribute to this excited chlorine molecule. The emission continuum near the 1750 Å associated with ArCl* was also investigated.
