Plasma Conductivity Experiments on Pulsed High-Voltage Discharges by Two Coil RF-Probe

摘要

Experiments directly measuring the plasma conductivity have been done on pulsed, high voltage discharges. The channel conductivity was measured by a two coil RF-probe and verified using conventional collecting Langmuir probes. The conductivity measured by these two methods agrees very well. These experiments also demonstrate the potential for the two coil RF-probe to yield useful data in intense electron beam environments.
