Current in Wave Driven Plasmas
Charles F. F. Karney, Nathaniel J. Fisch
A theory for the generation of current in a toroidal plasma by radio-frequency waves is presented. The effect of an opposing electric field is included, allowing the case of time v…
Efficiency of Current Drive by Fast Waves
Charles F. F. Karney, Nathaniel J. Fisch
The Rosenbluth form for the collision operator for a weakly relativistic plasma is derived. The formalism adopted by Antonsen and Chu can then be used to calculate the efficiency o…
Green's function for rf-driven current in a toroidal plasma
Charles F. F. Karney, Nathaniel J. Fisch, Allan H. Reiman
The Green's function for rf-driven currents in a toroidal plasma is calculated in the long mean-free-path limit.
Diagnostic Setup for Characterization of Near-Anode Processes in Hall Thrusters
L. Dorf, Y. Raitses, N. J. Fisch
A diagnostic setup for characterization of near-anode processes in Hall-current plasma thrusters consisting of biased and emissive electrostatic probes, high-precision positioning…
The possibility of a Hall thruster operation in the absence of the anode sheath
L. Dorf, V. Semenov, Y. Raitses +1
A method of determining boundary conditions for quasi 1-D modeling of steady-state operation of a Hall Thruster with ceramic channel is presented. For a given mass flow rate and ma…
