Characterization of the flowing afterglows of an N2-O2 reduced-pressure discharge: setting the operating conditions to achieve a dominant late afterglow and correlating the NObeta UV intensity variation with the N and O atom densities

The flowing afterglow of an N2-O2 discharge in the 0.6-10 Torr range is examined in the perspective of achieving sterilization of medical devices (MDs) under conditions ensuring maximum UV intensity with minimum damage to polymer-based MDs. The early afterglow is shown to be responsible for creating...
