Measurements of neutral helium density in helicon plasmas.
Laser-induced-fluorescence (LIF) is used to measure the density of helium atoms in a helicon plasma source. For a pump wavelength of 587.725 nm (vacuum) and laser injection along the magnetic field, the LIF signal exhibits a signal decrease at the Doppler shifted central wavelength. The drop in signal results from the finite optical depth of the plasma and the magnitude of the decrease is propo...
متن کاملA new probability density function in earthquake occurrences
Although knowing the time of the occurrence of the earthquakes is vital and helpful, unfortunately it is still unpredictable. By the way there is an urgent need to find a method to foresee this catastrophic event. There are a lot of methods for forecasting the time of earthquake occurrence. Another method for predicting that is to know probability density function of time interval between earth...
متن کاملElectron heating and density production in microwave-assisted helicon plasmas
Microwaves are injected into argon and helium helicon plasmas at 6 to 20 mTorr neutral pressure, 1.2 kW pulsed microwave power, up to 500 W continuous RF power, and up to 1 kG magnetic fields, with the objective of heating the tail of the electron energy distribution function (EEDF) and populating ion metastable states. Langmuir probes are used to measure the EEDF and optical emission spectrosc...
متن کاملProbability Density Function Measurement
We report experimental results on the acceleration component probability distribution function at R λ = 690 to probabilities of less than 10 −7. This is an improvement of more than an order of magnitude over past measurements and allows us to conclude that the fourth moment converges and the flatness is approximately 55. We compare our probability distribution to those predicted by several mode...
متن کاملDensity jump in helicon discharges
Helicon discharges characteristically exhibit a sharp jump from low to high density as the radiofrequency (RF) power is raised. This is usually explained by the transition from an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) mode to a helicon mode when the dispersion relation for helicon wave propagation is satisfied at a critical power or magnetic field. Experiments have suggested a different mechanism fo...
