Population inversion in a stationary recombining plasma

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Population inversion, which occurs in a recombining plasma when a stationary He plasma is brought into contact with a neutral gas, is examined. With hydrogen as a contact gas, noticeable inversion between low-lying levels of H has been found. The overpopulation density is of the order of 108 cm−3, which is much higher than that (≃105 cm−3) obtained previously with He as a contact gas. Relations between these experimental results and the conditions for population inversion are discussed with the CR model.
