Abstract

The authors discuss a plasma potential diagnostic technique that is suitable for use in plasmas in which the electron temperature is greater than 40-50 eV. The technique is based on secondary electron emission by plasma electrons. This secondary-emission capacitive probe is much less sensitive to electron-temperature variations than conventional nonemitting floating probes.
