Abstract
Plasma conditions for generating a population inversion between the ground and first excited states in a recombining hydrogen plasma have been investigated on the basis of the CR model. Population inversion can be expected when three-body recombination plays a dominant role; the required regions of electron density and temperature are specified. It is shown that upper bounds exist for the ground-state population density at given electron density and temperature. Larger inversion densities can be obtained between the ground and first excited states than between excited levels. Numerical results are presented.
