Abstract

The production of atomic hydrogen and positive ions in a typical hydrogen thyratron plasma is considered through an analysis of radiative and collisional processes. The production of atomic hydrogen and positive ions in devices such as hydrogen thyratrons is an important and sensitive factor in determining the operational limitations.
