Radiation from a dense, low-temperature inert-gas plasma
Abstract
The characteristics of radiation from a dense, low-temperature, inert-gas plasma are discussed. Various sets of experimental data are compared in terms of different temperatures and pressures by determining the behavior of a dimensionless factor on the frequency and charged-particle density. Specific analyses are made of the behavior of neon, argon, krypton, and xenon, and various devices are used to obtain the plasma, including shock tubes, cascade arcs, and tubular flash lamps. Consideration is given to the atomic weight of the elements studied, noting both theoretical predictions and experimental data.
