AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF RADIO FREQUENCY PLASMOIDS.
Abstract
The experimental program consists of three distinct approaches. The first is to probe the plasmoids with a silver ion beam, that is, the measurement of beam deflection as a function of position in order to determine the average charge number density of the plasmoid. The unexpected disappearance of the ion beam within the plasmoid has, however, altered the problem. The second approach is to utilize metallic Langmuir probes and the double probe in order to ellicit much the same information as the ion beam probe. The effort here is directed toward the establishment of probe characteristics within this type of discharge. A spectroscopic investigation of the plasmoids is also being conducted in order to obtain a kinetic temperature profile of the discharge region. (Author)
