A SPECTROSCOPIC TECHNIQUE FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF TEMPERATURE IN TRANSPARENT PLASMAS
Abstract
A spectroscopic technique developed by Fowler and Milne (Monthly Not. R.A.S. 83:403, 1923; 84:499, 1924) has been employed to evaluate the temperature in a plasma produced by an electric arc. Design of the experimental apparatus used in this study is discussed and representative results obtained with the apparatus are given. In the course of the investigation, the theoretical particle densities as well as the pion funion of an argon plasma have been calculated. (Author)
