Abstract
The processes of deexcitation of rare gas atoms excited by several means, including discharges, ionizing particles, lasers and so on, are extensively studied to investigate the potentiality of rare gases as sensitive media in radiation detectors1 and high energy electronic transition lasers2. In fact, rare gases have the ability to convert efficiently electron kinetic energy to electronic excitations and to convey the excitation energy to lower-lying atomic and excimer levels which emit a considerable fraction of the released energy in a narrow band vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) range3.
