abstract   bibtex   
In this work we present Thomson scattering measurements on a nanosecond pulsed high voltage\ndielectric barrier discharge (DBD)-like helium plasma jet, operated in ambient air. With the low\ndetection limit offered by a triple grating spectrograph equipped with a high quantum efficiency\nintensified charge-coupled device (ICCD) camera, temporally and spatially resolved electron\ndensities and mean energies have been mapped. 7 kV peak with 250 ns width pulses at 20 kHz are\napplied to the inner cylindrical shaped electrode of a DBD. This results in a peculiar hollow\nelectron density profile in the vicinity of the jet nozzle with maximum values of n e = 5 × 10 18 m\n−3 and mean energies of up to 2.5 eV. Further downstream, the profile collapses radially and\ncontracts. A much higher electron density is found (2 × 10 19 m −3 ) while the mean energy is lower\n(0.5 eV).
