Collisions of dihydrogen cations with tetrahydrofuran molecules have been studied. Luminescence spectra and the emission functions of the excited products at projectile energies ranging from 8 to 1000 eV have been measured using collision-induced emission spectroscopy. The recorded spectra are dominated by the atomic lines of the hydrogen Balmer series, whose intensities decrease more quickly than derived by the quantum-theoretical principle. The spectra also exhibit weak molecular bands of vibrationally and rotationally excited diatomic CH fragments created in the A2D and B2S ectronic states. The collisional processes are identified and compared with the latest results on cation-induced fragmentation of tetrahydrofuran.
