Summary
A method using electron collection for preionization-electron number density measurements is presented. A cathode-potential drop model is used to describe the measurement principle. There is good agreement between the model and the experimental result.
Riassunto
Si espone un metodo per la misura della densità di preionizzazione mediante la raccolta di cariche. Si usa un modello della caduta di Potenziale catodica per descrivere il principio della misura. Si mostra il soddisfacente accordo fra le previsioni del modello ed i risultati delle misure.
Резюме
Описывается метод собирания электронов для измерений предионизированной электронной плотности. Для описания принципа измерения используется модель падения катодного потенциала. Получается хорошее согласие между модельными и экспериментальными результатами.
