Inelastic collisions of OH with an inert liquid perfluoropolyether (PFPE) surface have been
studied experimentally. A pulsed molecular beam of OH with a kinetic energy distribution …

With more than 30 years of development, laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is becoming an
increasingly common diagnostic to measure ion and neutral velocity distribution functions in …

The diagnostic technique of laser induced fluorescence (LIF), generalized to the case of
oblique laser injection angle relative to the local magnetic field direction, is employed for …

A revised scientific instrument to measure simultaneously kinetic temperatures of different
atoms from their optical emission profile is reported. Emission lines are simultaneously …

Abstract We present a Monte Carlo simulation of a cylindrical luminescent volume and a
typical lens–detector system. The results of this simulation yield a graphically simple picture …

Carbon containing plasmas play an important role not only in plasma technology but also in
thermonuclear fusion research. In order to understand and control the processes taking …

Aiming at understanding and controlling the major mechanisms and processes in
microwave-generated plasmas, the ground-state densities of the most relevant atomic …

Rapidly evolving plasmas represent a challenging environment for both study and control.
Density, collision frequency and temperature fluctuations can change over orders of …
