Abstract :
Summary form only given, as follows. A diagnostic for velocity space diffusion of Ar II ions is being developed using a diode laser based instrument, rather than the conventional dye laser system. The test bed for diffusion measurements is a low temperature thermionic Ar discharge plasma (10/sup 7/\n\n\t\t
