Abstract
The three-body recombination coefficient has been measured in a partially ionized plasma jet mainly by using a spectroscopic technique. Experimental data were treated by the consideration that the net number of particles that were deexcited across a minimum in the total rate of deexcitation of atoms was substantially equal to the number of electronic recombinations. Experimental results are in good agreement with other investigated values and show dependence of the recombination coefficient.
