Development of a Floating Potential Probe System for Plasma Potential Diagnostics in the SAIL Plasma Jet Experiment
Rafael J. Larsen Zarzosa
Understanding plasma behavior requires accurate measurement of electrical properties, such as the floating potential and plasma potential; the natural electric potential a conductive object acquires when immersed in plasma. This project, conducted in the Space and Atmospheric Instrumentation Laboratory (SAIL) at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, focuses on developing a diagnostic system to measure the floating-potential distribution across the plasma jet generated in the laboratory’s plasma
