Key issues raised in this Key issues raised in this experimentexperiment
1) Are low frequency phenomena (e.g. Drift Alfvén waves, flows) coupled to high frequency phenomena (lower hybrid, whistlers and Langmuir waves)?
2) What is the electron distribution function f(r,v,t) ?
3) What is the electron (high frequency) physics in a magnetoplasma?

Design ParametersDesign Parameters• Angle of Acceptance (desire less than 10 deg):
– 2 µm hole, total thickness 30 µm half angle = 3.82 deg– 2.5 µm hole, total thickness 30 µm half angle = 4.76 deg
• Exposed area– 160x160 array of 4 μm2 holes, 4 µm between holes. – 1 mm x 1 mm head 10.24% open area
• Current being carried– Expected current density: 1000 mA/cm2 1x10-5 mA/μm2
– 160 * 160 * 4 * 1E-5 = 1.024 mA (maximum collected)• Gap closing force
– For g = 15 µm @ 25 V: F ≈ 10 µN
