• The 2012 Plasma Roadmap (2012, background): “Helicons can be efficient plasma sources for expansion through a magnetic nozzle, leading to an helicon thruster HelT ( [118], and IEPC-2005-290 in [119]).”
• Electric propulsion for satellites and spacecraft: established technologies and novel approaches (2016, methodology): “The regime of operation of an MPD thruster is therefore controlled by the plasma β parameter that corresponds to the ratio of the thermal to the magnetic pressure [10]”
