Abstract
An experimental study of the population densities of excited states confirms the existence of the complete excitation saturation phase in the argon neutral system. Collisional radiative coefficients r/sub m//sup (1)/ are independent of n/sub e/ and decrease with decreasing ionization energy. At higher n/sub e/-values the levels are observed to come consecutively into Saha equilibrium (PLTE)
