Abstract
Measurements of electron temperature and density made with Langmuir probes are compared to those made by Thomson scattering. The comparison is made over a range of electron density [(0.3−1.6)×1015 cm−3] and temperature (1–2 eV). The two diagnostic techniques agree to within 20% in the case of the electron temperature and to within 10% in the case of the electron density.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
