Measurement of the profile of He I 4471 Å at low electron densities

The profiles of the He I lines with forbidden components in plasmas with electron densities below 10¹⁵ electrons per cc. are of astro-physical interest. A pulsed-arc plasma device has been constructed and operated at such initial conditions that in the afterglow (i.e. up to 200 μsec after breakdown)...
