abstract = {Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy was applied at
the linear plasma device PSI-2 to measure the magnetic
field, temperature of argon and density of metastable
species in a low density gas discharge. The measurements on
the two metastable levels of Ar were performed by scanning
the plasma column of PSI-2 at different radii. The obtained
magnetic field using the lines at 763 and 772 nm (Ar) was
found to be systematically lower (by $5\%$ to $17\%)$ than
the calculated vacuum field. Part of the deviation arises
from the line integration of the absorption signal. The
radial gradient of the magnetic field strength combined with
the radial metastable density determines the magnitude of
this contribution $(2\%–3\%).$ The temperature of the
neutral gas was found to be essentially constant within the
discharge chamber. The gas temperature rises with increasing
cathode current and magnetic field due to an increase in the
plasma density and, consequently, an increase in the energy
transferred to the neutral gas by collisions with the
charged particles. The density of the 4 s metastable level
with J = 2 was found to be 8–9 times higher than that
of the level with J = 0 similarly to observations by
others in non-magnetized plasmas. To understand this trend a
simple collisional-radiative model for the metastable argon
4s J = 2 level was developed. Depending on the treatment
of the 4p levels it predicts a lower and an upper limit of
the metastable density. The experimental values are within
the limits predicted by the model indicating that the
complex kinetics of the excitation and deexcitation
collisional-radiative processes lead to this deviation from
the statistical equilibrium.},
