A new digital ion drift meter for thermal plasma measurement

Abstract

space such as AKAKS, CRRES, etc.. Since potential difference can be varied in a wide range both cold plasma parameter!; and high energy particles characteristics can be measured with the same space tethers used as a diagnostic probe. New possibilities related to the case of applied AC voltage in a frequency range wp, << w <( wpe are discussed.
