Abstract
This experiment was conducted to learn experimental techniques for
studying Thomson Scattering at an angle of 90° from a laboratory plasma.
A successful method of canceling the plasma radiation was employed by
using a Calcite Slab to separate the plasma radiation into two equal
intensity beams which self canceled when put through a- differential
amplifier. Scattered light from the plasma was not observed due to the
noise level of the photomultipliers and the reflections from the plasma
chamber.
