This study introduces a new method for analyzing electron speed distributions from probe data, offering improved noise resistance compared to Druyvesteyn

Area of Science:

  • Plasma physics
  • Electron diagnostics

Background:

  • Druyvesteyn's method relies on the second derivative of probe data, making it sensitive to noise.
  • Existing methods struggle with noisy data in plasma diagnostics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a noise-resistant method for determining electron speed distributions from probe data.
  • To analyze projected velocity and energy distributions for disk and cylindrical probes.

Main Methods:

  • A novel method is presented for recovering projected electron distributions from digitized probe data.
  • The new method utilizes the first derivative for disk probes and analyzes energy distributions for cylindrical probes.
  • Comparison with Druyvesteyn's method using simulated and experimental noisy data.

Main Results:

  • The new method demonstrates reduced sensitivity to noise compared to Druyvesteyn's method.
  • Projected distributions are recovered effectively from noisy probe data.
  • The technique is validated on a double-plasma device with magnetic confinement.

Conclusions:

  • The developed method offers a more robust approach to electron speed distribution analysis in plasmas.
  • This technique enhances the reliability of probe data interpretation, especially in noisy environments.
  • The findings have implications for accurate plasma characterization and diagnostics.
