The experimental values of pressure broadening and shift coemcients of the 114 Cd 326.1 nm line perturbed by Η2 and D2 are determined using a LIF technique and compared with theoretical values calculated from the impact theory.PACS numbers: 32.70. -n, 33.70.-w, 34.20.-b 1. Introduction In a series of experiments in our laboratory [1][2][3][4][5] the pressure broadening and shift of the 114Cd 326.1 nm (51S0-53Ρ1) intercombination line perturbed by He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe have been studied using a pressure-scanned Fabry-Perot interferometer. As a sequel to the previous papers this paper reports results of measurements of the pressure broadening and shift of this line caused by the simplest molecular perturbers such as H2 and D2. There are only a few papers in the literature dealing with collisional effects on the 326.1 nm Cd line perturbed by molecular gases but they have rather a qualitative character [6][7][8]. The study of the pressure broadening and shift of the 326.1 nm Cd line by various molecular gases is of interest as it can provide information on the interaction between the ground-state perturbing molecules and the excited (53Ρ1) Cd-atom. The main goal of this work is to establish magnitudes of the broadening and shift coemcients of the 326.1 nm Cd line perturbed by Η2 and D2 at low perturbing gas pressures, i.e. in the linear region where two-body interactions predominate and the impact approxiiiiation of the collisional broadening theory is fully applicable.Due to the known high quenching rate for the Cd-H 2 and Cd-D2 systems [9][10][11], present measurements were performed with a laser induced fluorescence (LIF) technique.
