使用紧凑型汤姆生离子谱仪对喷气式z箍缩（z. pinch）等离子体发射的离子束能谱进行了实验研究。紧凑型汤姆生离子谱仪由入射窗、偏转电磁场、后置针孔及cR-39探测板组成。等离子体发射的离子束经前置针孔、谱仪入射窗准直后进入偏转电磁场偏转，由后置针孔射出轰击探测板形成可分辩的抛物线簇。对抛物线簇进行分析处理，得到了等离子体辐射的离子束能谱及能谱随箍缩状况的变化趋势。

研制了一台五通道ROSS-FILTER-PIN软X射线能谱仪，能谱范围为0.28-1.56kev它由5个连续能段组成，每个能段的起止边由罗斯滤片对（ROSS-FITERs）的L或K吸收边确定罗斯滤片对的厚度通过优化计算得到，为了使每个通道的灵敏区外响应（即所测能段外响应）与通道总响应之比最小，在滤片对的第二滤片上镀上了一定厚度的第一滤片材料；为了缩减滤片表面积以增强低能滤片的抗冲击能力及方便滤片加工，能谱仪采用了小探测面积的PIN探测器（1mm2）借助此能谱仪，测量得到了喷气式z箍缩（z-pinch）等离子体辐射软X射线能谱的分布，并研究了软X射线产额随箍缩状况的变化趋势。

利用介质阻挡电极结构，对1.01325×105Pa气压下空气间隙中的放电进行了实验研究，数值模拟计算了实验 条件下电子雪崩的发展过程. 结果表明：对于长度不大于2mm的空气间隙，可能实现辉光放电，对于长度不小于5mm的空气间隙，如果不能设法降低放电场强，放电必然是流注形式，不可能实现辉光放电，另外，实验结果未能验证“离子捕获”机理降低放电场强而实现辉光放电的正确性.

Experiments were performed on an atmospheric pressure glow discharge (APGD) in an air gap between two dielectric barrier electrodes. While it is possible to get an APGD in a 2mm air gap, it is possible to get only a filament discharge in a 5mm air gap. The development of an electron avalanche in such a gap was numerically simulated. It was found that the critical applied field for a 5mm electron avalanche to transit to a streamer is equal to 35.07kVcm−1. This calculated critical applied field is in good agreement with the experimental one. The experimental and theoretical results confirm that only a filament discharge, rather than a glow discharge, can be produced in an atmospheric pressure air gap that is not less than 5mm if it is not possible to lower the breakdown field of air. A resistive barrier discharge (RBD) was theoretically analysed and the development of RBD was numerically simulated. If a kilohertz discharge is required, the parameters of the resistive layer should be in the range ρεr=(109-1011)cm. APGD in a helium gap was realized using 50Hz line power with a suitably fabricated resistive layer.
