Abstract
Hg- compound ion states formed by electron impact with neutral mercury atoms at collision energies of 4.55, 4.71, 4.94, and 5.51 eV show up in the 2S1/2, 2D3/2, 2D5/2, and 2D5/2 scattering states in order of increasing energy. This identification is supported by the observed energy dependence of (i) elastic (e-, Hg) differential cross section, of (ii) 63P0 excitation of mercury by electron impact, and of (iii) spin polarization of electrons scattered elastically from mercury.
