Electronic emission due to collisions involving low energy CHO+ and H+ ions and CH4 and N2 molecules

Electronic emission from CH and OH radicals, CH+, CO+ and N2+ ions and atomic hydrogen lines have been observed during collisions of CHO+ and H+ ions with CH4 and N2 molecules in the laboratory kinetic energy range 100-900 eV. Emission cross sections of the excited CH radicals, N2+ ions and Hbeta transition of H atoms have been measured in the above energy range.
