THE STATE OF THE ELECTRICAL ARC PLASMA
J. RichterInstitut für Experimentalphysik der Universität Kiel, Olshausenstr. 40-60, 2300 Kiel 1, Germany
Abstract
The plasma state of partial thermodynamic equilibrium (PLTE) is discussed for arc gases. Methods to determine the plasma parameters in highly stabilized cascade arcs under the assumption of PLTE are summarized and discussed. Some measuring results concerning argon arcs at low electron densities are presented.
