The Structure of the Compton Shifted Line.

their minima, we see at once that the most probable transitions are going to give nuclear separations which will not result in dissociation. This is in perfect accord with experiment. Until we know more of the excited states of the H2+ ion we cannot proceed with explanations of the effects that still faster electrons may produce. 1 Winans and Stueckelberg, these PROCUZDINGS, 14, 867, 1928. 2 We are assuming the weak ionization sometimes reported at about 11 volts, is due to an impurity. 8 Compton and Mohler, Critical Potentials, p. 115. 4 Hughes and Skellet, Physic.
