abstract = {The source of the broad radiation of fast hydrogen atoms in
plasmas containing noble gases remains one of the most
discussed problems relating to plasma–solid interface. In
this paper, we present a detailed study of Balmer lines
emission generated by fast hydrogen and deuterium atoms in
an energy range between 40 and 300 eV in a linear magnetised
plasma. The experiments were performed in gas mixtures
containing hydrogen or deuterium and one of the noble gases
(He, Ne, Ar, Kr or Xe). In the low-pressure regime
(0.01–0.1 Pa) of plasma operation emission is detected by
using high spectral and spatial resolution spectrometers at
different lines-of-sight for different target materials (C,
Fe, Rh, Pd, Ag and W). We observed the spatial evolution for
H α , H β and H γ lines with a resolution of 50 μm in
front of the targets, proving that emission is induced by
reflected atoms only. The strongest radiation of fast atoms
was observed in the case of Ar–D or Ar–H discharges. It
is a factor of five less in Kr–D plasma and an order of
magnitude less in other rare gas mixture plasmas. First, the
present work shows that the maximum of emission is achieved
for the kinetic energy of 70–120 eV/amu of fast atoms.
Second, the emission profile depends on the target material
as well as surface characteristics such as the particle
reflection, e.g. angular and energy distribution, and the
photon reflectivity. Finally, the source of emission of fast
atoms is narrowed down to two processes: excitation caused
by collisions with noble gas atoms in the ground state, and
excitation transfer between the metastable levels of argon
and the excited levels of hydrogen or deuterium.},
