Abstract
The theory of the positive column at moderate pressures in electronegative, i.e. electron-attaching, gases is treated as a boundary layer problem, and the zeroth- and first-order terms are evaluated. The structure of the electron-positive-ion boundary layer is revealed and discussed. Comparison is made with other recent work and good agreement found for high attachment rates.Keywords
