Abstract
Excitation cross sections for the fourth positive band system in carbon monoxide have been determined from studies of the energy-loss spectra of 20-120-keV protons incident on gaseous CO targets. The energy-loss spectra had an energy resolution of about 2 eV. Prominent peaks in the spectra were observed at 8.5 and 13.8 eV. The first peak is believed to be due to excitation of the fourth positive band system of CO (X+1A 1, while the 13.8-eV peak covers a number of possible states, including the B+2 and the C+1 states. Changes in the slope of the ionization continuum were noted at 16.5 eV, corresponding to the A i2 state of CO+, and at 20.5 eV, corresponding to the B+2 state of CO+. Absolute excitation cross sections for the fourth positive band system of CO are presented, as well as the total inelastic cross sections and the total ionization cross sections for 20-120-keV protons incident on CO. © 1970 The American Physical Society.
