Abstract

We operated a high-current wall-stabilized arc to generate a low-temperature, steady-state plasma in nitrogen, with admixtures of argon, helium, and oxygen. We measured the relative atomic transition probabilities for several strong and weak 3s-3p and 3p-3d lines of neutral nitrogen and placed them on an absolute scale with experimental lifetime data available in the literature. We obtained good agreement with recent advanced calculations and an earlier measurement for the strong transitions but encountered appreciable discrepancies for weak transitions.
