Determination of electron concentrations from two intensity measurements within the h line
Abstract:
A method for calculating the electron concentration il dense plasmas containing hydrogen is suggested which utilizes two intensity measurements at separate points within the profile of the H(beta) line. The relative intensity observed by two detectors is expressed as a function of the electron concentration, plasma temperature, and instrumental parameters such as resolution and wavelength separation between measurements. Electron concentrations between 10(15) cm(-3) and 10(17) cm(-3) may be read directly from graphs presented in this article.
