Abstract
Extracting correct plasma parameters from the experimental data from a retarding field electrostatic energy analyzer in a flowing plasma requires proper interpretation of the effect of plasma flow on the collector current. In this paper, relationships for computing plasma parameters directly from the analyzer data are described for any type of velocity distribution of particles.Keywords
