Characterization and Control of an Ion-Acoustic Plasma Instability Downstream of a Diverging Magnetic Nozzle

The study and control of resonant instabilities in magnetized plasmas is of fundamental interest over a wide range of applications from industrially relevant plasmas to plasma sources for spacecraft propulsion. In this work electrostatic probes were employed to measure a 4–20 kHz instability in the...
