A model of argon-helium plasma was created and the main reactions of formation and quenching of plasma particles were studied. A general scheme of kinetic processes of the plasma of inert gases of a pulsed discharge has been formed. As a result of the work, the following results were achieved: kinetic model of Ar-He plasma was compiled, taking into account the interaction of 11 energy states of argon and helium in 64 interaction reactions; plasma particle concentration was calculated and the rate of each interaction reaction was determined. For each argon and helium energy state, the mechanisms that have the greatest effect on particle concentration are indicated; scheme of key reactions occurring in argon-helium plasma has been determined.
