Pulse radiolysis and emission spectroscopy techniques have been used to examine the production of the state of Ar and the and states of at gas pressures below 1 Torr. The rate of formation of these states has been compared with the results from calculations using the time-dependent Spencer–Fano theory of high-energy electron degradation. It is found that the theory successfully predicts the time scale of events in pulse-irradiated argon gas.
