摘要：
The cusped field thruster uses several permanent ring magnets of alternating polarity to create a multistage cusp magnetic topology. It has demonstrated a long lifetime because of reduced plasma losses to the discharge channel surface. However, the high beam divergence problem has not been solved in this type of thruster. The purpose of this technical note is to describe a plume control method to reduce its plume angle. The results show that the magnetic field intensity in the plume region and the shape of the last separatrix have great influence on plume divergence.
