摘要: The density and temperature of an expanding laser produced carbon plasma were measured over a large range distances by several different methods. element was found to have time dependence ne varies as t-3. electron the same decay with Tc t-1 rather than theoretical adiabatic Te t-2. These results confirm predictions about effect three body recombination on cooling plasma.
