These results indicate that perhaps protons play a larger role in the torus than was previously thought. Since a review of the literature and databases shows no measured photon emission cross sections for protons colliding with SO2, we have initiated a determination of these cross sections. We present here spectra and preliminary cross section data for proton-SO2 collisions over a range of proton energies from 50 to 250 keV. This range of energies dominates the proton energy flux. Experimental Details General DescriptionMore information on the general nature of the experimental techniques employed by this laboratory can be found in previous publications [Monce, 1988[Monce, , 1990Freeman et al., 1992]. However, as this is the first publication utilizing a CCDspectrometer system for detection of the photons, we will describe the procedure in greater detail.The The target gas cell is aligned along the beam path with an adjustable viewing slit along this length. The target gas enters the cell through a tube in the top. A tube at the bottom is connected to a capacitance manometer for pressure measurement. The gas pressure is regulated with a precision needle valve. Also in the target gas cell is a thermistor for temperature measurement. The thermistor was calibrated using a 0.1øC mercury thermometer.The photons emitted 90 ø to the beam path are collected and 26,147
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.
