Single-shot Thomson scattering on argon plasmas created by the Microwave Plasma Torch; evidence for a new plasma class

To determine the fine-structure size of plasmas created by a Microwave Plasma Torch (MPT), single-shot Thomson scattering (TS) measurements were performed. The aim was to find a solution for the long-standing discrepancy between experiments and Global Plasma Models (GPMs). Since these GPMs are based on the assumption that (ambipolar) diffusion is the main loss process for charged particles, the diffusion length and thus the fine-structure size should be known with high precision before an appropriate theory-experiment comparison can be carried out. In order to avoid the effect of blurring, which is created during the accumulation of multi-shot TS signals and which obscures the fine-structures, single-shot measurements are indispensable to determine the diffusion length.
