Absolute OH density determination by laser induced fluorescence spectroscopy in an atmospheric pressure RF plasma jet
In this paper, the ground state OH density is measured in high pressure plasma by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectroscopy. The OH density determination is based on the simulation of the intensity fraction of fluorescence from the laser-excited level of OH (A) in the total detected LIF signal. The validity of this approach is verified in an atmospheric pressure Ar + H2O plasma jet sustaine...
متن کاملPlasma instabilities in meteor trails: Linear theory
[1] Ablation of micrometeoroids between 70 and 130 km altitude in the atmosphere creates plasma columns with densities exceeding the ambient ionospheric electron density by many orders of magnitude. Density gradients at the edges of these trails can create ambipolar electric fields with amplitudes in excess of 100 mV/m. These fields combine with diamagnetic drifts to drive electrons at speeds e...
متن کاملOn plasma wave instabilities induced by neutrinos
Quantum field theory is applied to study the interaction of an electron plasma with an intense neutrino flux. A connection is established between the field theory results and classical kinetic theory. The dispersion relation and damping rate of the plasma longitudinal waves are derived in the presence of neutrinos. It is shown that Supernova neutrinos are never collimated enough to cause non-li...
متن کاملGrowth of resistive instabilities in EÃB plasma discharge simulations
Two-dimensional hybrid numerical simulations of E B discharges used in Hall thruster propulsion point to the presence of strong fluctuations attributable to resistive instabilities in the frequency range of f 0.1–10 MHz and the wavenumber range of −1 10–500 m−1. Analytical analyses confirm that these resistive modes are of the convective type, become increasingly unstable at low electron mobili...
متن کاملAbsolute instabilities of standing pulses
We analyse instabilities of standing pulses in reaction-diffusion systems that are caused by an absolute instability of the homogeneous background state. Specifically, we investigate the impact of pitchfork, Turing and oscillatory bifurcations of the rest state on the standing pulse. At a pitchfork bifurcation, the standing pulse continues through the bifurcation point where it selects precisel...
