“…Then the vibrational energy can be redistributed among molecules via the processes of the VV exchange: (10) (only single quantum transitions are taken into account). The most reliable results on rate constants of these processes are likely to be those derived in [42] by the classical trajectories method.…”

“…Mostly noble gases are used to feed the plasma, but in some cases molecular gases like H 2 and SF 6 are added [6,9]. The equilibrium characteristics, as well as deviations from local thermal equilibrium (LTE), of the cascaded arc plasma in argon have been studied intensively both experimentally [10][11][12] and theoretically [13,14]. For numerical simulation of the plasma properties the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) approximation has been used [13,14].…”

A new kinetic scheme of the non-equilibrium gas discharge plasma is employed to describe the characteristics of a low-pressure cascaded arc plasma in pure hydrogen. The presented kinetic model includes the dynamics of the following plasma components: vibrationally excited hydrogen molecules in the ground electronic state , hydrogen atoms in the ground and electronically excited states (H(n), n=1,2,...) and electrons, positive and negative hydrogen ions . It has been shown that the low-pressure hydrogen cascaded arc plasma is characterized by high degrees of ionization and dissociation, and can generate high-density fluxes of vibrationally excited hydrogen molecules and negative ions.
