Calculation of the optimum electron energy in an Ar+-laser plasma
Abstract
Using newly available values for the relevant cross sections the electron energy at maximum laser power at 488 nm was calculated to ∼6 eV, independent of discharge current. Agreement exists between theory and a re-evaluation of experiments. To check the calculations also other Ar-laser plasma parameters were determined and compared with experiments.
