Abstract

It is shown in this chapter how to calculate the densities of atoms, molecules and radicals which are excited by electron collisions. The case of N2 plasma is emphasized is considered. In the balance equations, the electrons create as well as destroy the N2 excited states. Their destruction on the reactor walls (tube walls) is also considered.
