Abstract
At the end of the practical course the student should be able to: understand the principles of measuring methods; have the practical skill to perform the plasma diagnostics; interconnect the knowledge from different courses like Introduction to Plasma Physics, Plasma physics, Elementary processes in plasma, High frequency electronics and Vacuum physics
Learning outcomes
The students wiil be able to - practically work with different kinds of discharge - use basic principles and methods of plasma diagnostics - perform the data treatment - critically compare their own results with known sources - write scientifically - presnt and defend their work, methods and results
Key topics
plasma diagnostics using single Langmuir probe plasma diagnostics using double Langmuir probe measurement of first Townsend coefficient; study of processes in decaying plasma; verification of Paschen law; measurement of electron density by microwave interferometry; plasmachemical production of ozone; study of underwater discharge;
