Dp. Sheehan, DIAGNOSIS OF ELECTRON-DENSITY IN MAGNETIZED PLASMAS USING LOWER-HYBRID WAVES, Review of scientific instruments, 69(4), 1998, pp. 1699-1701
A simple electron density diagnostic for low-temperature, magnetized p
lasmas is described which relies on the propagation angle of lower hyb
rid waves. Experiments are discussed in which the diagnostic is used t
o determine residual electron densities in negative ion plasmas. (C) 1
