ELECTRON DENSITY IONIZATION RATE AND APPROACH TO THERMAL EQUILIBRIUM BEHIND SHOCK WAVES BY MEANS OF MICROWAVE TECHNIQUES.

Abstract

The following subjects are investigated: Improvement in .e microwave diagnostics of shock waves; Investigations in the details of the time dependence and the shape of the microwave attenuation in shocks of air at pressures of 1 and 5mm of Hg; Measurements of the peak microwave attenuation of shock waves in argon and neon; The effect of constrictions and taper sections on the shock speed and on the microwave attenuation; Experiments with an electrical discharge shock tube; Cons.uction of a 4mm Fabry-Perot interferometer; Testing a 4mm carcinotron.
