Sensitivity of the simulated response of the probe RPC-MIP, operated in SDL, in a double-Maxwellian evdf plasma. The probe operates with a full emission level and is isolated from the plasma by the vacuum sheath presented in Fig. 3. Top left: influence of R. λ_Dh = 1 m, n_h ∕n_tot = 0.3 and T_h ∕T_c = 20. Top right: influence of λ_Dh. R = 1 m, n_h ∕n_tot = 0.2 and T_h ∕T_c = 10. Bottom left: influence of T_h∕T_c. λ_Dh = 1 m, n_h ∕n_tot = 0.2 and R = 1 m. Bottom right: influence of n_h∕n_tot. λ_Dh = 1 m, T_h ∕T_c = 20, and R = 1 m.
