Discrepancies between different electron temperature methods: probing the electron energy distribution function

A large panel of diagnostic techniques for the determination of effective electron temperatures Te exists and they rely on different hypothesis/physical phenomena for its measurement. Due to the different underlying assumptions and physical mechanisms used for the calculation of Te, different values of Te may be expected while measuring a plasma in the same conditions, particularly in the case of a non-Maxwellian plasma. To each of these definitions of effective Te, a different effective Te can be defined using the EEDF of the plasma. In this study, we take a low pressure Argon microwave plasma as test case and compare Thomson scattering with line intensity measurements corrected by a collisional radiative model. The results are compared with those obtained from the electron particle balance (ePB)
