M. : Energoatomizdat, 1988. — 238 s. Presented modern methods of probe diagnostics of plasma. On the basis of the general theory of kinetic and hydrodynamic equations, mathematical modeling is carried out for various modes of operation of the probe, and then the possibilities and accuracy of known and some new engineering methods for processing probe measurements are discussed. Methods of processing experimental data during probe measurements and probe equipment. The developed theory is of a sufficiently general nature and is applicable to describe the properties of plasma near bodies in plasma. Intended for scientists in the field of plasma physics. May be useful for undergraduate and graduate students specializing in the specified field.
