摘要：
We present the optimization of a sterilization process with a N-2 flowing afterglow post-discharge. First we study the inactivation of bacteria ( E. coli coli) submitted to the post-discharge, and discuss the) mechanisms of bacteria inactivation. Then we evaluate the volume repartition of the active species ( N atoms produced by plasma discharge) in the chamber of treatment.
