90 DEGREE LASER LIGHT SCATTERING FROM A LOW DENSITY PLASMA.

Abstract

The experiment was conducted to learn experimental techniques for studying Thomson Scattering at an angle of 90 degrees from a laboratory plasma. A successful method of canceling the plasma radiation was employed by using a Calcite Slab to separate the plasma radiation into two equal intensity beams which self canceled when put through a differential amplifier. Scattered light from the plasma was not observed due to the noise level of the photomultipliers and the reflections from the plasma chamber. (Author)
