Novel gas-doping technique for local spectroscopic measurements in pulsed-power systems
Novel gas-doping technique for local spectroscopic measurements in pulsed-power systems
A novel method for doping plasmas in pulsed-power experiments with gaseous elements has been developed. A fast gas valve, a nozzle, and a skimmer are used to generate an ultrasonic gas beam that is injected into a planar-geometry microsecond plasma-opening switch (POS). An array of ionization probes with relatively high …
