| Abstract: | A method for measuring the vector polarization of collision-induced radiation is described and implemented. Studied in this research are the polarized de-excitations at 3889 Å characteristic of the 2³S₁ - 3³P₂,₁,₀ transitions of helium atoms resulting from charge capture in low energy He⁺ - He collisions. A qualitative extension of a recently advanced theoretical model, based on , appears to explain the experimental results. |
