Abstract
The populations of the 2s2 and 2p4 levels on neon in a positive column were determined for various pressures and currents. The populations were found by a method which obviates the need to measure absolute line intensities. The populations of the 2s2 level were computed from temperatures and electron concentrations determined by probe measurements. The results were compared with experimental findings. Conclusions concerning the excitation mechanism of the 2s2 and 2p4 level are drawn.
