a theory of current collection by a small probe in a plasma in which particle orbits, not sheath edges, limit collection, used to read plasma density and temperature.

In sensors and instrumentation, orbital motion limited theory refers to a theory of current collection by a small probe in a plasma in which particle orbits, not sheath edges, limit collection, used to read plasma density and temperature. This meaning comes from Mott-Smith (1926) in Physical Review.[1]
