Tunnell, T. W.

I presented our report which described our technique of inferring electron temperature in a microwave induced plasma. The primary purpose of my trip to Kiev was to present a paper entitled Analysis of Nitrogen Light Emission from Artificially Ionized Layers (AIL) Breakdown'' at the AIL workshop. The AIL concept is to produce an ionized layer in the atmosphere from which radio frequency waves can be reflected. The workshop provided for the transfer of unclassified technology between the US and the USSR, who are reportedly years, if not decades, ahead of the US in this area of research.
