Abstract We have investigated proton-rare gas atom charge transfer collisions in the energy range from 20 to 100 keV and have extracted the electrostatic dipole moments (EDMs) of the collisionally produced H(n=3) atoms from the optical data. The results show that the EDM decreases with increasing atomic number of the rare gas atoms. Our data provide experimental evidence that post-collisional electrostatic forces do not influence the formation of the EDMs.
