Summary
Methods for calculating resonance radiation transport in glow discharge plasmas are reviewed. Emphasis is given to the recently developed propagator function method, and to a recently developed Monte Carlo code which is both efficient and highly realistic. The Monte Carlo code is used to determine the resonance radiation trapped decay rate for the fundamental mode in cylindrical geometry over a vast region of parameter space. An analytic formula is devised to approximate the Monte Carlo results.
