Rayleigh scattering is used to obtain the radial gas density and temperature distributions in low-current Ar arcs. A comparison with spectroscopic results indicates large deviations from local thermodynamic equilibrium. The possibilities of determining excited-state density distributions and transition probabilities by Rayleigh scattering are indicated.
