A kinetic theory for the electron probe current is presented. The results allow us to infer the electron energy distribution function from the measured electron probe current and its derivatives over a wide range of pressures and magnetic fields.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
