An experimental investigation was made of oxygen dissociation in a radiofrequency discharge. The conversion and yield were examined as a function of power, pressure, and gas flow rate. These measurements were supplemented by measurements taken with catalytic and noncatalytic thermocouple probes in order to determine the local gas temperature and atomic oxygen concentration. An interpretation of the results is given in terms ofa theoretical model of the reactor.
