Absorption spectra of Xe–rare gas mixtures in the far uv region (1150–1500 Å): High resolution analysis and first quantitative absorption measurements

In this paper we present a high resolution analysis of xenon–rare gas absorption spectra in the far uv region between 1150 and 1500 Å. We give also the first quantitative results on the pressure and temperature dependence of absorption. These results may be used to discuss the origin of the many satellite bands observed in the proximity of resonance and forbidden atomic xenon lines. Information on the lowest excited XeKr and XeAr potential curves is obtained from this work.
