General GEC rf Reference Cell Bibliography


This list is an up-to-date bibliography, of all archival and conference publications and reports that present research performed on GEC RF Reference Cells as of April 1999. Only papers and reports that are considered referenceable are listed, so presentations from conferences that do not publish a significant proceedings are not included (such as presentations at the Gaseous Electronics Conference). Papers that are "in press" or have been submitted to a journal are included for completeness. The listing is in approximate order of publication, and has been split into groups of papers that contain either primarily experimental or theoretical results.
