Abstract
Experimental measurements in an argon arc are made of the densities of electronic and some excited levels. A BKM model is used to calculate these densities. Departures from complete LTF are shown for electronic densities below 2*1016 cm-3. The comparison between calculated and measured radial densities of the metastable level allows the determination of the radial distribution of the electronic temperature.Keywords
