Submillimetre Laser, Microwave and Spectroscopic Diagnostic of Ionization in Gaseous Plasmas.
Abstract
Afterglow electron density decay mechanisms and energy losses in high energy argon and helium plasmas including measurements of ion conversion rates were carried out. A computational study of the hydrogen and helium afterglows was also completed. Development of a HCN submillimetre laser included work on the significance of mode compression near the critical density. Microwave electron temperature measurements in a current modulated plasma column were also undertaken. (Author)
