Abstract

A strong emission band extending from 3060 to 3120 Å was observed following proton beam excitation of an Ar-H₂O mixture. This emission band was assigned to the transition of OH(A²Σ⁺)_υ=0 → OH(X²Π)_υ=0. At high argon partial pressure (> 200 torr), the precursor of this emission band is believed to be the argon excimer Ar^{{black star}}₂(1_u). The fluorescence efficiency of Ar-H₂O is estimated to be a factor of 4 times that of Ar-N₂. Development of a highly efficient, tunable uv laser by e-beam pumping is promising.
