Title: Diagnostic Setup for Characterization of Near-Anode Processes in Hall Thrusters

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/814018· OSTI ID:814018

A diagnostic setup for characterization of the near-anode processes in Hall thrusters was designed and assembled. Experimental results with a single floating probe show that radial probe insertion does not cause perturbations to the discharge and therefore can be used for near-anode measurements.
