Description

In this work we determined the gas temperature of neon and helium afterglow plasma using the frequencies of standing waves which are produced during the breakdown of a high voltage pulsed discharge. The temperature does not decay and may be considered constant within the observed afterglow periods. The mean gas temperature values obtained in neon and helium afterglow were in good agreement with the values obtained for the similar discharge conditions using microwave methods. (authors)
