Abstract The decay-curves of the Balmer-lines Hα and Hβ have been measured after dissociative excitation of C6H6 and H2 by electron-impact in the 100 eV range. The analysis of the decay-curves shows, in agreement with other authors, that only the 3s-and 3d-states in the case of Hα and the 4s-and 4d-states in the case of Hβ contribute significantly to the total intensity of Hα and Hβ, respectively, but not the p-states 3p and 4p. The intensity-ratios J(3s)/J(Ha) and J(4s)/J(Hβ) have been investigated. Comparison with the total emission cross-sections of the states n=3 and n=4 allows to determine the excitation cross-sections of the sublevels 3s and 4s. It is found that s-state production is favoured in the dissocia-tion process. This seems to be independent on the principal quantum number.

Dissociative excitation of CF4 by electron impact has been studied under single-collision conditions for incident energies up to 600 eV. The emission spectrum in the range 50–130 nm shows many features arising from neutral and singly ionized fluorine and carbon fragments. Absolute cross sections for the observed features were measured at 200 eV incident energy, while the excitation functions of the most intense emissions were studied over the whole energy range. Cascade was shown to be the dominant excitation mechanism for some of these features.

A detailed description is given of a technique in which emissions from H and H2 are used to calibrate an apparatus used for electron-impact emission cross-section measurements in the wavelength range 90–130 nm. Absolute emission cross sections have been measured at 200 eV electron-impact energy for the 120 nm N I line following dissociative excitation of N2 and for the Ar and Ar+ lines at 104.8, 106.7, 92.0, and 93.8 nm respectively. Good agreement with earlier works is obtained in the case of the N I line when earlier data are renormalized to take into account the recent revision of the cross section for production of Lyman α from H2. Measurements of the 104.8 and 106.7 nm lines suggest a 40% cascade component for the latter line at energies of 200 eV and above.

Dissociative excitation of SF6 by electron impact has been studied under single-collision conditions for incident energies up to 600 eV. The emission spectrum in the spectral range 450–1850 Å shows many features arising from neutral and singly ionized fluorine and sulphur fragments. Absolute cross sections for many of the emissions were measured, and excitation functions and appearance potentials were determined for selected features from each of the four systems. The largest cross sections were found for the FI transitions at 955 Å (2.3 × 10−18 cm2) and 975 Å (1.7 × 10−18 cm2).

Though a great part of the actual content lies outside the present interest, a number of useful results for astrophysical purposes can be found therein and will be quoted hereafter.
