Abstract
Measurements have been made on the spatial and time characteristics of the radiation from an He-Xe plasma jet emerging from a discharge channel through a nozzle with a speed of about 105 cm/sec. A recombination mechanism is indicated for the line excitation by the delay between the current pulse and the production of the radiation, as well as by the substantial differences in time course for the intensities of the atomic and ionic lines and by the increase in intensity with pressure. Measurements have been made of the electron temperature and concentration, and estimates have been made of the recombination coefficients, which reflect the performance of the collisional-radiative recombination in a decaying He-Xe plasma jet.
