THE METHOD OF DETECTING THE PRESENCE OF A COMPONENT OF A GAS MIXTURE WHICH COMPRISES INTRODUCING THE GAS MIXTURE TO A DISCHARGE SPACE DEFINED BY TWO ANODES ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF A CATHODE, MAINTAINING THE SPACE AT A PRESSURE LOWER THAN THAT AT WHICH THE MEAN FREE PATH OF THE COMPONENT IS EQUAL TO A MAJOR DIMENSION OF THE DISCHARGE SPACE, APPLYING A LOW FREQUENCY VOLTAGE TO THE CATHODE TO SUSTAIN A GLOW DISCHARGE, MAINTAINING A MAGNETIC FIELD ACROSS THE DISCHARGE SPACE, AND DETECTING THE PRESENCE OF A CHARACTERISTIC LINE OF THE SPECTRUM OF THE COMPONENT IN THE RESULTANT RADIATION.
