The Na D 1 line emitted from a nitrogen afterglow with Na vapor shows Doppler temperatures near 1600"K, considerably greater th:rn the translational temperature of the ambient gas. It is thought that this is due to translational heating of Na which is excited on collision with vibrationally cscitcd
The resonance-enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) technique has been used to detect the presence of highly vibrationally excited nitrogen (to at least u" = 26) in the Lewis-Rayleigh afterglow of nitrogen using photoionization via the intennediate a 'l-I, state (Lyman-Birge-Hopfield bands). For t
