Abstract
Rate coefficients are calculated for neutral-assisted collisional radiative recombination in dense, weakly ionized rare-gas mixtures using the quasiequilibrium model developed by Bates. It is shown that the recombination rate can be significantly altered by the presence of a buffer gas. In particular, the presence of helium can enhance the collisional radiative recombination rate coefficient of heavy rare gases by a factor of 5.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
