Experimental study of the plasma window

The plasma window is an advanced apparatus that can work as the interface between a vacuum and a high pressure region.It can be used in many applications that need atmosphere-vacuum interface,such as a gas target,electron beam welding,synchrotron radiation and a spallation neutron source.A test bench of the plasma window is constructed in Peking University.A series of experiments and the corresponding parameter measurements have been presented in this article.The experiment result indicates the feasibility of such a facility acting as an interface between a vacuum and a high pressure region.
