INVESTIGATION OF PULSED PLASMA PARAMETERS BY FARADAY CUP
Abstract
In this work the principle operation of pulsed plasma accelerator was described and energy properties’ results of charged particles in pulsed plasma were obtained from diagnostic device of Faraday cup. The density, energy, velocity of ions was calculated based on the occillograms achieved by Faraday cup. Also the dependence of these values on the gas pressure as well as discharge voltage was determined.
Key words: pulsed plasma accelerator, energy characteristics, Faraday cup.
