Popis: Emission from Rydberg states of NO molecules has been observed in H + NO collisions at relative energies as low as 10 eV. Agreement between the observed NO γ band spectrum and a model spectrum based on vertical electronic transitions indicate that a relatively long range interaction produces these excitations. Collisions between protons and N 2 , CO and O 2 molecules produced no neutral molecule emissions in the range 190–800 nm; the apparently anomalous behavior of NO is interpreted in terms of molecular electronic structure.
