Measurement of xenon plasma properties in an ion thruster using laser Thomson scattering technique

N. Yamamoto, K. Tomita, K. Sugita, T. Kurita, H. Nakashima et al.
This paper reports on the development of a method for measuring xenon plasma properties using the laser Thomson scattering technique, for application to ion engine system design. The thresholds of photo-ionization of xenon plasma were investigated and the number density of metastable atoms, which ar ... [Rev. Sci. Instrum. 83, 073106 (2012)] published Mon Jul 23, 2012.
