Probe to measure velocity distributions in exhaust of steady-state plasma accelerators
Diagnostic probe for low density plasma beam ion velocity distribution measurement in steady state and pulsed plasma exhausts
Calorimeter measures the exhaust energy from a shot of a pulsed plasma gun accelerator. It has a fast response time and requires only one measurement to determine the total energy. It uses a long ribbon of copper foil wound around a glass frame to form a reentrant cavity.
