Abstract

The introduction of a small percentage of an impurity gas containing a desired element into a theta‐pinch plasma is a standard procedure used to investigate the spectra and atomic processes of the element. This procedure assumes that the mixing ratio of impurity to fill gas remains constant during the collapse and heating phase. Spectroscopic investigations of the constant mixing ratio assumption for a 2 % neon and argon impurity verifies the assumption only for the neon impurity. However, for the 2 % argon impurity, only 20 to 25 % of the argon is in the high‐temperature compressed plasma. It is concluded that the constant mixing ratio assumption is not applicable to the argon impurity.
