Fig. 6From: An in-flight plasma diagnostic package for spacecraft with electric propulsionBeam profiles in the HIBEX test chamber in Kiel measured with a movable cylindrical Langmuir probe. The shaded regions indicate the core of the beam, i.e. the diameter to which the beam is restricted by the aperture in the screen.
