On the 1920 Å continuous spectrum of the supersonic argon jet excited by an electron beam

The T₀/?(T₀) dependences (T₀ is the intensity of the 1920 Å continuum at its maximum, ? is the concentration of argon atoms at the intersection of an electron beam and a jet, T₀ is the temperature of argon at the nozzle) for the 1920 Å continuum radiated by a supersonic argon jet excited by an electron beam were investigated at various pressures of argon at the entry to a nozzle. The experiments performed suggested a possible generation mechanism of the 1920 Å continuum emitted by an argon jet.
