An interferometric force probe for beam diagnostics and the study of sputtering

Abstract A novel probe for the measurement of forces exerted by a beam of ions and neutral atoms on a small target is described. The force probe is intended for various applications: First, diagnostics of thruster plumes of electric spacecraft propulsion engines, in particular the determination of t...
