Ion Scattering in a Self-Consistent Cylindrical Plasma Sheath

The Turning Point Method (TPM) for the evaluation of ion scattering in a sheath of a biased probe immersed in an unmagnetized plasma is reviewed. The TPM implemented originally in a computer program for spherical probes is expanded to include cylindrical probes as well as the evaluation of the turn...
