Abstract

An installation for studying the spectral, temporal, and generation characteristics of xenon-containing high-pressure excimer mixtures is described. The mixtures are excited by a pulsed beam of fast electrons with energy Е e = 220 keV, pulse duration Т p = 5 ns, and maximum beam current density I max = 20 A/cm2. Spectral and temporal measurements are taken in the wavelength range of 200–1200 nm with a wavelength resolution of 1 nm (the Maya-2000Pro spectrometer) and a temporal resolution of 2 ns/cm (a Tektronics TDS1024 oscilloscope and a FEU-106 photomultiplier tube). To reduce the xenon consumption when carrying out experimental investigations, the installation is equipped with a system of xenon peeling and regeneration, which allows the xenon loss to be reduced by factors of 50–100. The use of one additional external mirror for determining the gain characteristics of high-pressure excimer mixtures upon pumping with fast charged particles is considered.
