Characterization of a low-pressure chlorine plasma column sustained by propagating surface waves using phase-sensitive microwave interferometry and trace-rare-gas optical emission spectroscopy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Phase-sensitive microwave interferometry and trace-rare-gas optical emission spectroscopy were used to measure the line-integrated electron density, ne, and electron temperature, Te, in a high-density chlorine plasma sustained in a quartz discharge tube (inner diameter = 6 mm) by an electromagnetic surface wave at 2.45 GHz. For pressures in the 0.1–1 Torr range, ne decreased nearly linearly along the tube’s z-axis down to the critical density for surface wave propagation, where the plasma decayed abruptly. At lower pressures (< 50 mTorr), however, the plasma extended well beyond this critical point, after which ne decreased quasiexponentially toward the end of the plasma column. The length of this expansion region increased with decreasing pressure, going from ∼8 cm at 5 mTorr to ∼1 cm at 50 mTorr. Te was nearly independent of the axial position in the main plasma region and strongly decreased in the expansion region at lower pressures. The Cl2 percent dissociation, τD, obtained from the calibrated Cl2 (306 nm)-to-Xe (828 nm) emission ratio, displayed behavior similar to that of ne and Te. For example, at 5 mTorr, τD was close to 100% near the wave launcher and ∼70% at 0.5 cm from the end of the plasma column.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
