摘要
We have studied xenon plasma moving in a supersonic diffuser in external electric and magnetic fields. The main physical parameters of the plasma (electron temperature and density) were determined using specially developed methods based on the theory of continuous optical emission from inert gas atoms. These experimental data are compared to the results of theoretical calculations. Based on an analysis of the results of spectroscopic measurements, a mechanism of plasma ionization is established which is capable of maintaining a high degree of ionization in the supersonic xenon plasma flow.
