Experimental investigation of electron-impact reactions in the plasma discharge of a water-vapor Hall thruster

The axial distribution of the electron density and temperature in the discharge plasma of a water-vapor Hall thruster is measured by a cylindrical Langmuir probe using a fast-moving system. They are evaluated in two ways; by integrating full trace of the measured electron energy distribution functio...
