Abstract

Using emission spectra, the electronic, vibrational, rotational, gas temperatures and the reduced electric field strength at different distances along the propagation of the apokamp from the discharge channel at an air pressure of 150 Torr, a voltage of 7.6 kV, and a frequency of 37.5 kHz were determined. To determine the above values of plasma parameters, the methods of optical emission spectroscopy were used, after which the experimentally obtained values were compared with the values obtained in the course of modeling the emission spectra of the discharge plasma using a code based on the radiation-collisional plasma model. It is shown that the values of the electron temperature and reduced field strength increase abruptly at a height of ~ 12 mm above the discharge channel, marking the transition from the offshoot zone to the positive streamer zone. The gas temperature along the distribution of the apokamp decreases exponentially and at a distance of 75 mm reaches about 530° C (which is about 3 times less than at the base of the apokamp). The data obtained are in agreement with the streamer model of the plasma plume of the apokamp and allow us to hope for the creation of a plasma source based on an apokampic discharge with a moderate gas temperature at the end of the plasma plume.
