Temporal variations in individual spectrum lines
emitted by a microwave discharge in pure helium are
investigated: The discharge is produced in a quartz tube
located inside of a section of waveguide which carries
pulsed 3 centimeter microwaves. The helium used is purified by a three-fold process consisting of treatment with...
The energy distribution of electrons in Townsend discharges in
helium has been experimentally investigated in a direct fashion.
A discharge is initiated between parallel plates of a small cell
mounted at the center of a spherical retarding field energy analyzer.
The anode of the cell is perforated and some electrons...
