Abstract
First measurements are reported of the near-threshold behavior of the vacuum-ultraviolet emission cross section for Ar + Ar atomic collisions. The experimentally observed threshold is 18±2 eV. The absolute emission cross section is presented for center-of-mass energies from threshold to 150 eV. The monitored radiation results from the decay of the lowest excited resonance state of the Ar atom and individual substate contributions are determined over most of the energy range investigated.Keywords
