Correction: Analysis of Wall Loss Currents in an ECR Magnetic Nozzle Thruster
Abstract
Correction NoticeIn Sec.V.A.1, the concluding sentences of the third paragraph should read "These measurements found that the plasma potential decreased to less than 60% of the potential in the source region within 2.5 cm of the thruster exit plane.We therefore assume ππππππ¦ = 0.6πππ ππ’πππ for our calculation of electron temperature adjacent to the thruster body."This assumption ensures that the model captures the electron cooling that takes place between the source region and the near-field plume.
