“…RFEA probes can therefore yield informa tion about the plasma potential, Vp, the ion beam potential, Vj,, if present, and the plasma ion density, rij. Although various designs have been developed over several decades (Neiswender and Kohout, 1972;Hopman et al, 1977;Bohm and Perrin, 1993;Conway et al, 1998), not as many theoretical studies of RFEA probes have been undertaken compared to the num ber for Langmuir probes. Several studies have also compared the plasma properties determined with Langmuir probes and RFEAs and have found good agreement between the two diagnostics (Ingram and Braithwaite, 1988;Gahan et al, 2008).…”

A new type of electron energy-loss spectrometer has been developed, in which the electrons are confined by a unidirectional magnetic field that extends over a length of 2 m. Magnetic-field-immersed Wien filters are used for energy selection and analysis. The new spectrometer is characterized by a high collection efficiency and hence it is especially suitable for the study of processes that have low cross sections, such as excitation of autoionizing and inner-shell states. Electron energy-loss spectra of inner-shell states of Xe have been obtained with the new spectrometer.

The distribution function measured using an ideal planar retarding-field energy analyzer external to a finite-size uniform source of particles depends on the location of the analyzer. The error that occurs when this distribution function is used to infer the temperature inside the source is investigated for a variety of source shapes, locations, and potentials when the distribution is both Maxwellian and anisotropic.
