Abstract

A narrowband VUV radiation (near a wavelength of 147 nm) corresponding to optical transitions of the heteronuclear dimer ArXe from plasma formed during the excitation of the Ar-Xe mixture at a pressure of 400 mbar with high-voltage nanosecond discharge initiated by runaway electrons was registered. Amplifying properties of the discharge plasma with respect to this radiation were found.
