UV continuum emission and diagnostics of hydrogen-containing non-equilibrium plasmas 8 9 Boris P. Lavrov and Alexei S. Melnikov 9 Faculty of Physics, St.-Petersburg State University, 198904, Russian Federation 1 v o N Marko K¨aning and J¨urgen R¨opcke Institute for Low Temperature Plasma Physics, 17489 Greifswald, Federal Republic of Germany 0 2 (February 2, 2008) ] h p - Abstract m s a For the first time the emission of the radiative dissociation continuum of the l p 3 + 3 + . hydrogen molecule (a Σg → b Σu electronic transition) is proposed to be used s c as a source of information for the spectroscopic diagnostics of non-equilibrium i plasmas. The detailed analysis of excitation-deactivation kinetics, rate con- s y stants of various collisional and radiative transitions and fitting procedures h p made it possible to develop two new methods of diagnostics of: (1) the ground [ X 1Σ+ state vibrational temperature Tvib from the relative intensity distribu- g tion, and (2) the rate of electron impact dissociation (d[H ]/dt) from the 3 2 diss v absolute intensity of the continuum. The known method of determination 8 0 of Tvib from relative intensities of Fulcher-α bands was seriously corrected 0 and simplified due to the revision of d → a transition probabilities and
