applied-field MPD thrusterA test facility for high heat and particle loads relevant to a fusion divertor has been developed using an applied-field magnetoplasmadynamic (AF-MPD) thruster. The AF-MPD thruster can provide high heat and particle fluxes to a target at a relatively low pressure with...
The mean values of electron temperature and density in the plume of a gas-fed, externally applied field, Magneto-Plasma Dynamic (MPD) thruster, have been measured with a balanced triple probe. The spatial distribution and the temporal behaviour of floating potential fluctuations have been also ...
