The results of a spectroscopic study and simulation of the processes of population and destruction of the levels of the 2p55s configuration of a neon atom in a decaying plasma of a low-frequency barrier discharge in a He-Ne mixture are presented. Experimental conditions: helium pressure 0.08-22 Torr, neon pressure ≤ 3mTorr, electron density less than 1011 cm-3. On the basis of data on the evolution of the populations of the 3si levels (in Paschen's notation) with a change in helium pressure, data on the rate constants of collisional processes that determine the kinetics of these levels in He-Ne plasma are obtained more accurate than those available in the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
