ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF A NONLINEAR EQUIVALENT-CIRCUIT FOR A NEON GAS-DISCHARGE IN THE OSCILLATING REGIME

In this paper a development of a nonlinear equivalent circuit of the c olumn plasma in the oscillating regime with two inertial factors is de monstrated. The model is based on a theoretical description of the pla sma by means of the balance equations of electrons and of metastable a toms. The circuit can be compared to the nonlinear equivalent circuit for a neon gas discharge in a homogeneous regime which we introduced i n a previous paper. Both circuits posses only positive parameters of t he reactances which can be calculated on the basis of elementary proce sses occurring in the discharge plasma.
