EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF ELECTRONS IN HELIUM GLOW DISCHARGE

An experiment dealing with Pauli's exclusion principle was carried out by using a glow discharge device. The main purpose of the experiment is to examine the possibility of existence of anomalous electrons by measuring the characteristic K X-rays of the anode atoms. The electrons in helium glow discharge collected by the metal anode will be captured to the inner shell if they are not identical with the electrons of the anode metal. The experimental results show that the properties of the electrons both in helium glow discharge and metal atom are identical.
