Line 1: Line 1:
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:

==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.
 
==Setup==
; Logistics:
: ☐ Vacuum pump and vacuum parts
: ☐ Pirani gauge
: ☐ Can of Argon gas
: ☐ Electrodes
: ☐ Thermometer: to measure the temperature of the cathode
: ☐ Glass tube and glass slides
: ☑ High-voltage DC source: using 300 VDC for now
: ☐ Resistor
