HIGH RESOLUTION FOURIER TRANSFORM EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY OF XeH

Author Institution: Department of Chemistry, University of ArizonaElectronic transitions of XeH were recorded in the infrared with the Fourier transform spectrometer associated with the McMath Solar Telescope at Kitt Peak. XeH was made in a nickel hollow cathode discharge lamp with 100 mTorr of Xe and 2.2 Torr of $H_{2}$. The high-resolution Fourier transform emission spectrum of $a 2\Sigma^{+} - ^{2}\Pi$ transition near $4400 cm^{-1}$ was observed and analysed. The molecular contants were obtained for these two states. Other transitions were observed from $2900-3800 cm^{-1}$ and $4600-5000 cm^{-1}$
