Abstract
The Monochromatization–effect of light (the so-called M-effect) consists in the reduction of an electronegative–
electropositive gas mixtures discharge emission spectrum to only a few (or even one, in the particular case of H2 - Ne gas
mixture) spectral lines, in A.C./D.C. discharges at moderate to high total pressures (tens to hundreds of mbar). The main
reaction mechanism is the polar resonant three-body reaction, with the decisive contribution of the electronegative
metastable atoms, which play the role of the third particle involved in reaction.The paper deals with the variance analysis of
the polarization degree in H2-Kr gas mixture (νH2/νNe=27/38). The calculations were performed for different total pressures
values (27,5 torr, 42 torr, 65 torr and 80 torr, respectively) of the gas mixture, taking into account the intensities of three
spectral lines (λ=758,7nm, 760nm and 811nm), which appeared as dominant ones in frame of the M-effect. The calculation
method used in the experiment was the “Two-way ANOVA method” which offers the possibility to follow the evolution of
physical parameters of interest under different experimental conditions..
