    "abstract": "This work presents a few preliminary results from a collisional-radiative\n(CR) model intended to describe an argon microwave (2.45 GHz) plasma at\natmospheric pressure. This model aims to investigate the influence of\ndissociative recombination products on the Saha-Boltzmann plasma equilibrium.\nThe model is tested through comparison with experimental results obtained in an\nargon plasma column generated by a traveling electromagnetic surface-wave,\nwhich is suitable to perform a parametric investigation of the plasma. It is\nshown that dissociative recombination predominantly populates the 4s levels and\nthe ground state. It is further observed that it strongly influences the\npopulation of the levels, specially those of lower energy. However, the higher\nlevels (close to the ionization limit) appear to be in equilibrium whatever the\nplasma density. This allows assuming that the excitation temperature Texc\ndetermined from the upper levels in the atomic system in the Boltzmann-plot is\nequal to Te.",
