Vm. Babovic et al., ON THE AXIAL VARIATION OF THE ELECTRON-DENSITY IN A PLASMA-COLUMN OF THE SURFATRON TYPE, Physica scripta. T, 55(1), 1997, pp. 86-87
This paper deals with the axial structure of the electron density in t
he central portion of a plasma of the surfatron type. The point of dep
arture is an expression for the attenuation coefficient which includes
the dielectric loss in the glass envelope of the discharge, applied t
o the geometry of the round plasma cylinder. The influence of the loss
tangent on the axial distribution is examined.
