Model of radial plasma-wall interactions in a Hall thruster

Recent achievements on a sheath/presheath/sheath model of the radial interaction of the plasma discharge with the dielectric walls of a Hall thruster are presented. Trapping and thermalization of the secondary electron emission (SEE) depend on the plasma collisionality. The main new contribution is...
