Recombination Rates for He++ Ions:A Reply to 'Comments on Deviations from Ionization Equilibrium in Plasmas Generated by Electric Shock Tubes '

摘要

Criticisms have been made by H. R. Griem, A.C. Kolb, and E.A. McLean of our earlier work on deviations from ionization equilibrium in helium plasmas generated by electric shock tubes. This report presents further experimental data and calculations, in- [j eluding some of characteristic recombination times. They support our original conclusions, and show that the suggestions of Griem, et al, concerning possible misinterpretation of spectroscopic data, are not tenable.
