Abstract

A weakly magnetized expanding hydrogen plasma was investigated by means of optical emission spectroscopy. In the tail of the expansion, highly excited H atoms were found, which were responsible for the color change in the jet from red to blue. Several mechanisms that can produce higher excitation states of the H atom were investigated. After detg. the prodn. rates of each excited level, the dominant prodn. route of highly excited H atoms was detd. to be a mutual H+2-H- recombination. [on SciFinder (R)]
