This paper reports the modelling of CCP‐RF discharges (13.56 MHz) in pure nitrogen, produced within a cylindrical parallel‐plate reactor, similar to a GEC reference cell surrounded by a lateral grounded grid, at 0.1–2 mbar pressures and 10–50 W coupled powers. This study is a first step in simulating Titan’s chemistry at laboratory scale, using the PAMPRE experiment. Modelling results are compared with experimental measurements of the average electron density, and the self‐bias potential at the polarized electrode.
