Abstract
The plasma source, which is of high importance in the optimization of the separation of the gadolinium isotopes by the plasma separation process, requires a precise knowledge of its physical characteristics. Thus, a diagnostic has been developed to estimate the microwave power inside the source. A microstrip antenna has been designed and developed in order to characterize the microwave field at 36 GHz frequency in the plasma source. The experimental results for different plasma regimes are presented. The measurements inside the plasma source show a maximum of microwave absorption for an argon pressure of 10−4 mbar with 93% absorption of the incident wave in the conditions of isotope separation.
