Simultaneous resonant enhanced multiphoton ionization and electron avalanche ionization in gas mixtures

Mikhail N. Shneider, Zhili Zhang, Richard B. Miles

Open publisher page 29 citations

Abstract

Resonant enhanced multiphoton ionization (REMPI) and electron avalanche ionization (EAI) are measured simultaneously in Ar:Xe mixtures at different partial pressures of mixture components. A simple theory for combined REMPI+EAI in gas mixture is developed. It is shown that the REMPI electrons seed the avalanche process, and thus the avalanche process amplifies the REMPI signal. Possible applications are discussed.
