Kn. Koshelev et al., CHARGE-EXCHANGE OF PLASMA BEAMS FROM INSTABILITIES IN AXIAL DISCHARGES AND POPULATION-INVERSION IN HIGHLY-CHARGED IONS, Physics letters. A, 191(1-2), 1994, pp. 149-154
Preliminary experiments on the interaction of plasma beams from instab
ilities in axial, high current discharges with neutral gas and plasma
targets are reported. Population inversion of excited levels of Li-, H
e- and H-like ions of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen due to the charge ex
change recombination was measured.
