Determining the Bulk Parameters of Plasma Electrons from Pitch-Angle Distribution Measurements

Determining the Bulk Parameters of Plasma Electrons from Pitch-Angle Distribution Measurements

Electrostatic analysers measure the flux of plasma particles in velocity space and determine their velocity distribution function. There are occasions when science objectives require high time-resolution measurements, and the instrument operates in short measurement cycles, sampling only a portion o...
