Abstract
The intensity of the first negative bands in a microwave discharge in flowing nitrogen is reduced much more than those of other systems by traces of oxygen: this is ascribed to removal of N2+. Experiments on the afterglows are interpreted in terms of recombination of N atoms catalysed by N2+ in the pink afterglow.Keywords
