Abstract

Innumerable applications have resulted from the application of gaseous electronics to engineering purposes, from the mundane tube lights and neon signs to its rejuvenated version of compact fluorescent bulbs, gas lasers, plasma TV among others. Research data, both experimental and theoretical, from this area continue to be used for engineering purposes. Engineers often look for qualitative similarities in the various properties of interest as a function of electron energy or some other parameters which are easy to measure and relate to practical situations. These aspects are dealt with in the paper.
