The work used a Langmuir probe as the diagnostic technique for data gathering. It was found that, although the parameters of the initial plasma are drastically changed, those of the trapped plasma change little. Explanations for this phenomena are given.application/pdfenThis item is protected by copyright but is made available here under a claim of fair use (17 U.S.C.
