Abstract :
In Langmuir-probe diagnostics of fusion plasmas, collisions between charged and neutral particles are often neglected. We present a simple analytical theory of the plane probe including these collisions. Our analytical results are confirmed by high-resolution particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations covering the whole range of the Volt–Ampère characteristic.
