Abstract

It is shown that a secondary electron emission-capacitive probe can determine the plasma potential when Te ≥50 eV. The probe is wideband (1 Hz to greater than 20 MHz) and relatively simple to operate. The Phaedrus-B tandem mirror plasma where Te ∼40-60 eV and n≅5×1012 cm-3 is used to verify this technique.
