The probability of exciting the 2s state of hydrogen in an exchange collision between a proton and a hydrogen atom has been measured by Bayfield. Calculations are carried out which give some evidence on the mechanism responsible for the experimental observations.
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.
