FAST CALCULATION METHOD FOR THE RATE-EQUATIONS OF PLASMA

The rate equations for the plasmas in which the electron or ion densit y and the temperature changes substantially in a finite time are solve d by using a fast numerical calculation method. The scheme of the meth od is presented. A recombining plasma mixed with cooling gases is inve stigated, and some other cases in which the effect of the electron tem perature change on n(e) is significant are briefly discussed.
