  • Abstract
    The Tonks-Langmuir theory for the low pressure positive column is reviewed and shown to be applicable to argon ion laser operation. Under these conditions ions formed in the plasma are accelerated and move by free fall to the wall. The sputtering effects of the ions on the plasma confining structure are evaluated for both a uniform insulator wall, and a sectioned metal wall.
