| Abstract: | The collisional-radiative model is applied to a recombining hydrogen plasma in order to investigate plasma conditions in which a population inversion between the energy levels of hydrogen can be generated. Population inversion is expected in plasmas for which three-body recombination makes a large contribution to the recombining processes and the effective recombination rate is larger than a critical value for a given electron density and temperature. Calculated results are presented in figures and tables. |
