EMISSION METHODS OF DIAGNOSTICS OF THE EMITTING PLASMA

The emission methods of diagnostics are intended for obtaining the pos ition, concentration, and area of the emitting plasma in plasma source s of charged particles on the basis of the emission characteristics of a source. The principal advantage of these methods is the absence of any perturbing action on the object under study. The physical substant iation and techniques for the realization of these methods are present ed, as well as the results of the experimental study of electron sourc es with a plasma emitter.
