SURVEY OF DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES USED TO DETERMINE TEMPERATURE AND DENSITY IN PLASMAS

Abstract

A summary is given of the three major plasma diagnostic techniques (probes, microwaves, and spectroscopy) presently used to determine electron, ion, and gas temperature, and electron and ion density. A review of the theory for each technique is given and the relative advantagesAND DISADVANTAGES OF EACH TECHNIQUE ARE DISCUSSED. A comparative examination is made to determine the areas of greatest applicability of each technique. (Author)
