Spatial and energy redistribution of fast electrons in a discharge with a hollow cylindrical cathode
Abstract
A model is proposed for calculating the spatial distribution of fast electrons in a discharge with a hollow cylindrical cathode. The consideration of the angular redistribution of electrons is based on the abrupt change in the ratio of the electron relaxation lengths in terms of direction and velocity over a narrow energy region. The results obtained provide a way to calculate the integral characteristics of excitation and ionization as well as the observed characteristics of the radial profiles of the atomic and ion lines.
