Magnetically stabilized helium arc for scattering experiments

For verifying some theoretical predictions of light scattering from magnetized plasmas, a stable pulsed helium arc discharge in a magnetic field up to 5 Teslas has been built. The arc has been investigated at filling pressures of 2 to 5 torr and plasma currents between 1 and 5 kA. Plasma parameters...
