Unfortunately, the original publication contains errors. The authors would like to correct the errors as given below:

(a) Page 1103, line 9: In the abstract section, “From these densities, the destruction probabilities of the H-atoms on the afterglow quartz tube wall is found to be: $\gamma_{H}^{He} = \left( {2{-}3} \right) \times 10^{ - 4}$ and $\gamma_{H}^{Ar} = \left( {3{-}4} \right) \times 10^{ - 3}$” should read as “From these densities, the destruction probabilities of the H-atoms on the afterglow quartz tube wall are found to be: $\gamma_{H}^{He} = \left( {2{-}3} \right) \times 10^{ - 3}$ and $\gamma_{H}^{Ar} = \left( {3{-}4} \right) \times 10^{ - 3}$”.

(b) Page 1113, line 3: “Using Eq. (8), a global destruction probability of $\gamma_{H}^{He} = 2.5\left( { \pm 1.0} \right) \times 10^{ - 4}$ is obtained in He/x(N₂–5%H₂) mixtures” should read as “Using Eq. (8), a global destruction probability of $\gamma_{H}^{He} = 2.5\left( { \pm 1.0} \right) \times 10^{ - 3}$ is obtained in He/x(N₂–5%H₂) mixtures”.

(C) Page 1113, line 11: “The $\gamma_{N}^{{N_{2} }}$ value is thus about one order of magnitude lower than $\gamma_{H}^{He}$ and two orders of magnitude lower than $\gamma_{H}^{Ar}$” should read as “The $\gamma_{N}^{{N_{2} }}$ value is thus about two orders of magnitude lower than $\gamma_{H}^{Ar}$ and $\gamma_{H}^{He}$”.

(d) Page 1113, line 13: “It is found $\gamma_{H}^{He} = 2.5\left( { \pm 1.0} \right) \times 10^{ - 4}$ in the He/(2–90)%(N₂–5%H₂) mixtures, one order of magnitude lower than the $\gamma_{H}^{Ar} = 4 \times 10^{ - 3}$ value obtained in the Ar/2%(N₂–5%H₂) mixture” should read as “It is found $\gamma_{H}^{He} = 2.5\left( { \pm 1.0} \right) \times 10^{ - 3}$ in the He/(2–90)%(N₂–5%H₂) mixtures and $\gamma_{H}^{Ar} = 4 \times 10^{ - 3}$ in the Ar/2%(N₂–5%H₂) mixture”.
