Drift velocities of electrons in a gaseous neon plasma have been obtained by measuring the discharge current, radial density profile of electrons, and axial electric field in the positive column of a neon discharge forE/na(V cm2) values ranging between 2.8×10−17and 2.4×10−16at a temperature of 300°K. The data agree very well with that of the previous workers. The validity of the Langmuir probe measurement for the electron densities in this experiment is discussed in detail.
