Study on the Optimum Conditions of the Third Continuum of Argon Pumped by Electron Beam

抄録

The third continuum is obtained by electron beam pumping argon. The range of the continuum is from 200nm to 300nm. The optimum conditions of the third continuum are studied. Firstly, the effects of the argon gas pressure on the intensity of the continuum are studied. And the optimum pressure is about 0.3MPa. Secondly, the effects of the current and voltage of the electron beam on the continuum are observed. Between 251kV and 466kV in diode, the intensity of the continuum is increase with voltage. And between 13.3kA and 20.2kA in diode, the same trend can be obtained.
