Abstract:

A method for the determination of the electron temperature of a plasma by measuring the charge acquired by a small spherical macroscopic particle of the order of 25 micron diameter as it travels through the plasma is investigated. The particles are generated by the electromechanical breakup of a liquid jet. The plasma is created inside a cylindrical magnetron, which uses crossed electric and magnetic fields.
