Abstract

Using newly available values for the relevant cross sections the electron energy at maximum laser power at 488 nm was calculated to ∼6 eV, independent of discharge current. Agreement exists between theory and a re-evaluation of experiments. To check the calculations also other Ar-laser plasma parameters were determined and compared with experiments.

In the papers of Herziger and SeeligkT e is called mean electron energy. For comparison with our results a factor 3/2 has to be considered.
