Abstract

We have measured the relative cross-sections and the polarization of the light resulting from the excitation of helium by a proton beam for the following transitions:

3 {}^{1}D \to 2 {}^{1}P (λ = 6678 Å), 3 {}^{1}S \to 2 {}^{1}P (λ = 7281 Å),

3 {}^{3}D \to 2 {}^{3}P (λ = 5876 Å), 3 {}^{3}S \to 2 {}^{3}P (λ = 7065 Å) .
