Far-Field Plume Characterization of a 100-W Class Hall Thruster

The 100 W-class ISCT100-v2 Hall Thruster (HT) has been characterized in terms of far-field plume properties. By means of a Faraday Cup and a Retarding Potential Analyzer, both the ion current density and the ion energy distribution function have been measured over a 180<inline-formula> <mat...
