A SURVEY OF PLASMA DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES.
Abstract
The status of instrumentation and diagnostic techniques for use with high-temperature plasmas and especially with gases heated in arc-jet heaters are reviewed as of about the middle of 1963. The performance range of arc-jet heaters is discussed to aid in delineating the required measurement regimes. Diagnostic techniques for the following plasma quantities of interest are discussed: density, temperature dissociation, ionization and electron density, pressure, enthalpy, and velocity. Attempts are made in many cases to delineate the ranges of validity of the techniques discussed. (Author)
