Abstract
We report on calculations of the efficiency and concentration of ozone production in a spatially homogeneous oxygen discharge. An applied electric field E accelerate selectrons in a gas consisting initially of oxygen molecules 02. The electrons have a certain energy corresponding to the electron temperature Te which in turn is a function of the ratio E/p where p is the gas pressure.
