The present work is devoted to study of He I excitation in low energy He-He collisions. The purpose of this work is the investigation of mechanisms of atomic levels excitation at collision energies, corresponding the conditions of adiabatic approximation. The results of the experimental investigation of the excitation cross sections of He I 3 1 P, 3 3 P, 3 1 D, 3 3 D levels in the collision energy range from threshold up to 500 eV (c.m. system) and degree of polarization for 2 1 S-3 1 P, 2 3 S-3 3 P, 2 1 P-3 1 D and 2 3 P-3 3 D transitions in this energy range are represented. Also the degree of polarization for 2 1 P-n 1 D transitions as function of the main quantum number (3 ≤ n ≤ 12) at the fixed collision energy is represented.PACS : 34.50.Fa
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
