Absolute intensity measurements in a helium plasma

The temperature of a Helium plasma produced in a shock tube has been determined from absolute intensity measurements. The plasma was considered to be homogeneous, transparent and in local thermodynamic equilibrium. The emissivity of the plasma has been measured by comparing the plasma radiation to t...
