The dipole resonance technique for measuring the number density and its fluctuations was improved by placing shorting rings around the plasma column on either side of the strip line. The theory of multipole resonances of a plasma column is discussed. Measurements of the amplitude and phase of the a-c density fluctuations at constant a-c current were made as a function of frequency, and the results agree with theory. Auxiliary electrode experiments were carried out to study the role of the cathode region and the generation of additional noise. The dipole resonance method was used in measurements of noise variations along the positive column in a hot mercury tube. The dependence of noise fluctuations of density on circuit impedance was studied. (D.L.C.)
