SPATIAL CURRENT DENSITY MEASUREMENT

F. Dudkin, V. Korepanov

Abstract

The methodology of current density measurement in space plasma and the instrument for its realization - Split Langmuir Probe (SLP) - are discussed. An analytic approach to the investigation of SLP interaction with the surrounding plasma allowed to determine the conditions of its application and expected transfer function. Experimental evidence of SLP application efficiency is given.
