Astronomical radioreception techniques to detect the emission of molecular and short lived species in a cold plasma/gas chamber

Abstract

In this work we prove the viability of the use of HEMT radioastronomy receivers to detect rotational spectral lines emitted at room temperature by different molecular precursors and plasma products introduced or generated in a low pressure plasma chamber, placed in the beam path of the 40 m observatory radiotelescope of Yebes (Spain).
