In a number of previously published papers we presented experimental results on the monochromatization of noble gas emission spectra on the addition of hydrogen (or other electronegative gases) to noble gas discharges. More recently, the selective emission of two monochromatic spectral lines emitted in neon-argon mixture a.c. plasmas was reported. In this later case, the addition of hydrogen to the noble gas mixture resulted in the emission of two intense and monochrome lines, the 585.3 nm and the 750.4 nm line. The present paper presents new considerations for the explanation of these results. A three body collision was found to be the elementary process that generates the monochrome radiation. Radiation capture effects or the presence of metastable states are also discussed.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
