To investigate the destruction pathways and de-excitation kinetics of specific excited atomic argon states within an argon glow discharge.
Applied a laser perturbation technique to probe 3p2, 3p6, 2p2, and 2p3 (Paschen notation) Ar I excited states in an argon glow discharge.
Measured state-specific quenching rates across different discharge operating conditions.
Determined total radiative transition probabilities that demonstrate strong agreement with accepted reference values.
Calculated thermally averaged cross sections governing de-excitation induced by collisions with ground-state argon atoms.
