title = "Measurement of recombination rates of sodium by coherent microwave scattering",
abstract = "This paper will present the current experimental and theoretical investigation of sodium recombination rate measurement by coherent microwave scattering. To quantify the effects of temperature and pressure on the neutral stabilized three body recombination rates, experimental measurement in the mixture of argon and sodium mixture is given. The hypothesis is that the three body recombination rate is dependent of the temperature as T-2.5, of the pressure as P-1. The temperature of the mixture varies from room temperature to 1000K. Argon pressure varies from ∼1Torr to the atmospheric pressure. The sodium number density is measured by the absorption of D 1 and D2 lines of the sodium.",
