Time and spectral studies on a multi-ionized Xe pulsed plasma

Studies on pulsed discharge on Xe performed in different laboratories, in the earliest 70's, has assumed that the principal laser lines emitted in the blue-green region were corresponding to the X e3+ ion. This paper, related with a preliminary study on time and frequency of the spectrum emitted by a ionized Xe plasma, in the region 230-650 nm, intends to ionic assign the aforementioned laser lines and show the spectroscopic possibilities of the used spectral source.
