RESEARCH IN GASEOUS ELECTRONICS
Abstract
The purpose of the investigation is a detailed study of basic collision processes in decaying plasmas, through the use of light-spectrometer and mass-spectrometer diagnostics. The report describes work accomplished during the first quarter of the contract. Preliminary lightspectrometer studies have shown the necessity of a stable light source. Tests have indicated that using a 2450 megacycle oscillator to createAN ELECTRODELESS DISCHARGE PROVIDES AN ACCEPTABLE SOURCE. The construction of the quadrupole mass-spectrometer is nearing completion; final assembly of the apparatus will take place shortly. Special reports on both the lightspectrometer and mass-spectrometer methods have been submitted for approval. (Author)
