| Pulsed plasma in partial vacuum is characterised, by analysing [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectral_line_ratios line intensity ratios] to determine its temperature and density. The following can be explored:
| | [deprecated] |
| * Passive spectroscopy
| |
| * Active absorption spectroscopy with a laser
| |
| * Measuring plasma frequency
| |
| * EM wave propagation in plasma

| ==Idea==
| |
| In this project, a quiescent Argon plasma is produced in a vacuum by a high-voltage DC source. A spectrometer is used to obtain spectral line ratios of different transitions, through a view port. Dependence of plasma characteristics (temperature, density, frequency, etc.) on parameters such as voltage and pressure is explored.
