Abstract
A small probe which extracts a sample pencil from the distribution of ions and electrons in a low pressure arc has been used to carry out a retardation energy distribution analysis on these particles. Axial and radial variations in these distributions in a striated hydrogen discharge have been studied. The results confirm the findings of Boyd & Twiddy for electrons and supplement their data with new information on the energy distributions of the positive ions. The measurements at the striation tail-head transition are in accord with Langmuir’s double sheath criterion.
