Moore, J.H. (1975). The excitation of near-UV emission by H+, H0, and He+ impact on CO2 and N2O at 0.7–10 keV. Journal of Geophysical Research 80: doi: 10.1029/JA080i025p03727. issn: 0148-0227.

Emission spectra in the 2850- to 4300-¿ region produced by 0.7- to 10-keV impact of H+, H0, and He+ on CO2 and N2O have been observed. The emission consists almost exclusively of the A-X and B-X systems of CO2+ and the A-X system of N2O+. There are no emissions from excited fragments of the parent molecules. Cross sections for proton impact excitation reach maxima of 1--4¿10-16 cm2 in the collision energy range observed. Cross sections for H0 excitation reach maxima of 0.4--1¿10-16 cm2.
