Abstract

A weak excitation by collisions of several of the HgH bands belonging to the electronic system ²π → ²Σ was detected. It was found that HgH was formed in the ²π_½ and ²π_3/2 (excited) states through a collision process involving Hg 6³P and the H₂ molecule, one Hg 6³P atom dissociating the H₂ molecule and a second Hg 6³ atom uniting with an H atom to form the excited HgH molecule.
