THE COMPOSITION OF THE POSITIVE COLUMN OF A HELIUM GLOW DISCHARGE AT INTERMEDIATE PRESSURES

Abstract
The concentration of atomic and molecular ions and metastables is investigated for the positive column of a helium glow discharge. Recently (1,2) the system of differential equations for the helium afterglow describing the time change of these plasma parameters was written and solved. In the stationary positive column we can neglect some processes which are importent in the afterglow. On the other side we must take into account processes of excitation and ionization by electron collisions which can be neglected in the afterglow.
