Abstract
The present paper concentrates on the experimental investigation of the behaviour of steady-state plasma columns in a neon discharge for a pressure range of 2-32 mm Hg. The electron temperature T e, the electron concentration across the centre-line tube n o, the electron radial distribution n(r), the axial electric field E and the ionic current density at the discharge tube walls are determined. The experimental results are compared to the theoretical data obtained in the model proposed by Kagan and Ljagushchenko (1964 a, b). For our experimental conditions a good agreement is obtained between theory and experiment.Keywords
