A zero ion kinetic energy spectrometer has been developed to study the production of near zero energy protons and deuterons from dissociative photoionization of H2 and D2. Both H+ and D+ spectra show four peaks on top of a continuum. The continuum was found to be in excellent agreement with the single center Coulomb calculation for the direct dissociation through the X 2Σ+g state of H+2. The observed structures were shown to originate from autoionization of the doubly excited Q1 1Σ+g(1), Q1 1Σ+u(1), Q1 1Σ+u(2), and Q2 1Σ+u(1) states, of which the Q1 1Σ+g(1) state is dipole forbidden.
A method of determining the absolute beam current in the NBS electron storage ring SURF-I1 by electron counting is described. Recent improvements and the present implementation of the technique are discussed, along with the results of an intercomparison with the NBS spectral irradiance scale.
Comparison of NIST's SURF-II primary irradiance standard and argon miniarc irradiance standard at 214 nm with an uncertainty of ~3% shows that at this wavelength these irradiance standards agree to within the uncertainties of 1.3 and 7%, respectively, assigned to them by NIST.
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.
