Luminescence of nuclear-induced rare-gas plasmas in near infrared spectral range

Abstract
The investigation results of the spectral-luminescent characteristics of rare gases He, Ne, Ar, Kr, and Xe and their binary mixtures He-Ne(Ar,Kr,Xe), Ne-Ar(Kr,Xe), Ar-Kr(Xe), and Kr-Xe under high pressures in the 740-1100 nm spectral range are presented. Excitation of gas media was carried out by uranium fission fragments. The information on the absolute intensities of the spectral lines belonging to the transitions of Nel, An, KrI, and XeI was obtained. The lines belonging to atomic transitions of 0, N, and C were also observed.
