The ratios of intensities the spectral bands molecular nitrogen corresponding to transitions N + (B 2 � g ,v = 0) → (X 0), N2(C 3 u N2(B and 2) 5) as a function applied electric field strength were measured for air in pressure range 300 10 5 Pa. non-self-sustaining dc discharge parallel-plane gap was used excitation gas molecules. reduced varied (150–5000) × −21 Vm . ratio is compared with theoretical estimates made by other authors. obtained intensity versus curves can be estimation plasmas...
The provision of a particle and power exhaust solution which is compatible with first-wall components edge-plasma conditions key area present-day fusion research mandatory for successful operation ITER DEMO. work package plasma-facing (WP PFC) within the European programme complements laboratory experiments, i.e. in linear plasma devices, electron ion beam loading facilities, studies performed toroidally confined magnetic such as JET, ASDEX Upgrade, WEST etc. connection both groups done via...
This paper presents an experimental investigation of the effect electric field strength on collisional quenching rate nitrogen states N 2 ( C 3 Π u , v = 0) and by oxygen molecules. In experiments, pulses non-self-sustained electrical discharge excite gas The range reduced is from 240 to 4000 Td at pressure 70 4300 Pa. experiments show that has no rate. discusses probable reasons for discrepancy results obtained different authors proposes preferable values coefficients. These coefficients...

C5 perfluorinated ketone (C5 PFK with UIPAC chemical name 1,1,1,3,4,4,4-heptafluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)-2-butanone and sold by 3M as Novec™ 5110) has a high dielectric strength low global warming potential, which makes it interesting an insulating gas in medium high-voltage applications. The study was carried out to determine the effective Townsend ionization coefficient αeff function of electric field density for its mixtures air. non-self-sustained discharge between parallel plate...
ITER plans foresee the quantitative diagnostics of fuel retention in reactor walls at near-atmospheric pressures. Using laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for this purpose assumes a reliable resolving Balmer α-lines hydrogen isotopes spectra plasma produced by focused radiation onto target surface. To develop LIBS during maintenance breaks ITER, effect background gas pressure on laser-induced characteristics has been studied. The limits expansion rate and as result it leads to...
It is argued that the experimental results presented by Paris et al in J. Phys. D: Appl.

Abstract The absorption characteristics of photo‐ionizing VUV radiation emitted by corona discharges in the pressure range from 20 to 750 Torr dry and humid air were measured. experimental results are compared with data approximation formulae obtained others. For a wide region path length, formula proposed Zheleznyak et al. ( Teplofiz. Vysokih Temp . 1982 , 423) seems be most reliable for our air. We propose modification that suitable modelling discharge development ambient magnified image

A hypothesis by Akishev et al (1999 J. Phys.

Absorption curves and negative coronae atmospheric are compared. The coincidence shapes these confirms earlier, widely accepted opinion gas molecules atoms, which excited via collision. Photographic detection this performed method proposed found to be improbable, because very...
