ROLE OF O2 (a' Δ) IN THE OXYGEN PLASMA

Abstract
In this study, comparisons between experiments and mathematical models indicate that O2*(a'Δ) affects the discharge in two different ways: first, two-step ionization is required to achieve the observed electron densities, and secondly, detachment by O2*(a'Δ) on the negative ion, 0-, is required to match the transition points between the stable and unstable forms of the discharge.
