Time-dependent kinetics model for a helium discharge plasma

Abstract: Measurements of electron density and electron temperature at various times during a cathode discharge in helium have been recorded with a Langmuir probe in the UCLA large plasma device. The measured electron temperatures were then used in a time-dependent collisionalradiative model to propagate the electron density as a function of time for plasma conditions corresponding to population densities far from equilibrium. The initial gas density was extracted from pressure measurements and used in the calculations … Show more

“…The quasi-static assumption can be checked by using the time dependent CR model (e.g., see Refs. 22,[33][34][35] in which other important processes affecting the densities can also be included in the CR equations. However, this is highly dependent on the real plasma conditions and requires the details about the plasma.…”
