K X-rays have been observed in low energy collisions of bare Kr, Ar, and Ne ions ion with neutral gas targets. Although largely previously neglected, we have...
Several rotational lines in the S and Q branches (including the previously unobserved Q32 and Q33 lines) of the 3-0 electric quadrupole band of H2 have been...
