Plasma flow injector based on an open coaxial microwave resonator [Инжектор плазменного потока на основе открытого коаксиального СВЧ-резонатора]

The possibility of using an open coaxial microwave resonator as an element of an injector of a plasma flow with accelerated ions has been established. A diagram of a plasma flow injector consisting of an open coaxial resonator and an additional ring electrode is presented. The characteristic dependences of the energy spectra of the plasma ion component on the potential at the ring electrode for fixed values of the mass flow of gas (argon) and the microwave power input into the resonator are obtained. © 2020 Federal Informational-Analytical Center of the Defense Industry.
