Abstract
The electron energy distribution in mercury-argon mixture discharge calculated numerically from the Boltzmann equation. In this job The mixture parameters such as drift velocity, excitation rates and ionization coefficient are calculated which are plotted as a function of the E/N. Values of the ratio of the electric field, E to the gas number density, N of interest in this work are in the range from 10 to 10 V. cm².
The results show a good agreement with available experimental and theoretical data. The present results are relevant for the modeling of discharges in argon which its atoms play a major role in the kinetics of various lasers.
