INVESTIGATION OF A DISCHARGE IN A HOLLOW CATHODE,

Abstract

A probe method was used to determine the radial and longitudinal variations of the electron density, field, and distributions in a hollow cathode. The level populations of helium in such a discharge were determined by the emission and absorption method. The number of quanta, calculated from the experimental distribution functions, were compared with that obtained by optical means. (Author)
