This paper reviews progress in the understanding and application of electrical probes for the
diagnosis of tokamak edge plasmas. Langmuir probes are still one of the most commonly …

Although diagnostics are the essential tools of the experimental plasma physicist, there are
surprisingly few up-to-date books in this field. Several excellent volumes appeared in the …

Presented in this work is a guide to standardize the methods of performing correct and
accurate Langmuir probe measurements within the plasma environment produced by an …

Cross-field particle transport in the scrape-off layer (SOL) of Alcator C-Mod [Phys. Plasmas
1, 1511 (1994)] can be characterized by an effective particle diffusivity (D eff) that increases …

Cross-field particle transport increases sharply with distance into the SOL and plays a
dominant role in themain-chamber recycling'regime in Alcator C-Mod, a regime in which …

Four models of collisionless one‐dimensional plasma flow to a boundary are compared with
regard to their predictions of particle and heat fluxes to the boundary for a given plasma …

Fluid-theory calculations are presented of ion collection by electric probes in strongly
magnetized plasmas with parallel flow. In the first calculations the problem is treated in a …

Dusty plasmas have been studied in argon, rf glow discharge plasmas at magnetic fields up
to 2 T, where the electrons and ions are strongly magnetized. In this experiment, plasmas …

A new one-dimensional collisionless kinetic model is developed for the flow of ions to
probing structures in drifting plasmas. The cross-field flow into the presheath is modeled by …

Transport physics in the divertor and scrape-off layer of Alcator C-Mod is investigated for a
wide range of plasma conditions. Parallel (∥) transport topics include: low recycling, high …
