Volume discharge excited by an electron beam in an Ar-SF6 mixture I. Beam-controlled discharge

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

Beam-controlled current flow is investigated in an Ar-SF6 mixture at atmospheric pressure. It is shown that electron attachment to SF6 molecules plays an important role in the charge-dparticle balance, and the attachment constant is determined. The discharge energy properties are studied.
