Near-field angular distributions of high velocity ions for low-power hall thrusters [PDF]
, 2009 Experimental angular distributions of high-energy primary ions in the near-field region of a small Hall thruster between 50-200 mm downstream of the thruster exit plane at a range of centerline angles have been determined using a highly-collimated ...

Computation of Neutral Gas Flow From a Hall Thruster Into a Vacuum Chamber [PDF]
, 2003 The finite pressure present in vacuum chamber testing of space propulsion systems such as Hall thrusters can have a number of undesirable effects. For example, the thrust generated by the thruster is higher and the plume divergence angle larger in ground

A review of Hall thruster plume modeling [PDF]
38th Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 2000 Hall thrusters are an attractive form of electric propulsion that are being developed to replace chemical systems for many orbit propulsion tasks on communications satellites. A concern in the use of these devices is the possible damage their plumes may cause to the host spacecraft.
