Abstract
Time-resolved spectroscopic measurements were made of the decay of a laser-produced discharge in hydrogen over a range of pressures from 1 to 70 atm. Stark widths and line-to-continuum intensity ratios yielded the electron density, and temperature time history, which indicated temperature decay because of radiation, and expansion cooling and electron loss because of collisional-radiative recombination, as verified by solutions obtained from the rate and energy equations.This publication has 29 references indexed in Scilit:
