Abstract
Optical emission and absorption spectroscopy of argon 2p-1s transitions (Paschen notation) combined with collisional-radiative (CR) modeling of argon 2p states are developed and used to determine the neutral gas temperature, the Ar 1s number density, and the electron temperature along a microwave argon plasma column at atmospheric pressure. The CR model, designed specifically for atmospheric-pressure and optically thick plasma conditions, is fully detailed and validated by comparing the relative line emission intensities of argon 2p-to-1s transitions measured experimentally with the ones predicted by the CR model using the electron temperature as the only adjustable parameter. Subsequently, the neutral gas temperature (∼1300–1600 K; obtained from the broadening of argon 2p2-1s2 and 2p3-1s2 emission lines), the Ar 1s5 number density (1–2 × 1018 m−3; obtained from absorption spectroscopy of the argon 2p9-1s5 transition using a tunable laser diode), and the electron temperature (∼1.4 eV; obtained from the comparison between the measured and simulated 2p-to-1s emission line intensities) are reported as a function of the axial distance along the microwave plasma column. The values and behaviors reveal a good agreement with those reported in previous experimental and modeling studies.

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 it
