Kinetic investigations of the distribution function in excited nitrogen by the Raman scattering method
The evolution of the distribution function of N2 molecules over the vibrational levels ν =0-16 was experimentally investigated, for the first time ever, in the time interval 0.5-500 μ$&ο following the pulsed electric discharge. A deviation of the time dependence of the function from a Boltzmann distribution is observed. The gas heating greatly exceeds the known rate of the VΤ process.
