Show affiliationsThe atomic radical density in the first excited state, obtained by the technique of optical absorption spectroscopy, and a simple kinetic model are used to determine the radical ground state density in a recombining expanding plasma. The kinetic model used does not require knowledge of the shape of the electron energy distribution function. The information on electron density and electron temperature has been derived from the Thomson-Rayleigh scattering diagnostic. The method is demonstrated for the determination of the absolute ground state densities of atomic hydrogen H(n=1) and argon Ar(3p6) in a freely expanding plasma jet.
