Abstract :
The tomographic reconstruction of local plasma parameters for nonequilibrium plasma sources is an indispensable tool for understanding the fundamental processes and phenomena that follow the dynamics of plasmas with complex geometry. We present practical approaches that are developed on the case-to-case basis and applied to several plasma sources in our laboratories.
