Abstract
The emission continua of the dissociative transitions B 1Σ+u-X 1Σ+g, B 1Σ+u-X 1Σ+g, C 1Πu-X 1Σ+g, and D 1Πu-X 1Σ+g of molecular hydrogen have been calculated. Synthetic spectra of H2 are in excellent agreement with high-resolution electron-impact-induced emission spectra obtained at 100 eV. An improved calibration standard is obtained, and the dissociation yields of the Lyman and Werner continua produced by electron-impact excitation are presented.Keywords
