Raitses等人的评论。基本上是关于它们的离子源与我们在SEC上发表的论文中描述的离子源之间的比较。首先，他们不会质疑我们的数据或我们的离子源的性能。在仔细阅读他们的评论后，我们有以下评论。Raitses等人。可能是误读了我们的描述。斯米尔诺夫等人研究了一种带有尖端磁场用于增强电离的圆柱形霍尔推进器，特别是低功率霍尔推进器。与传统的End-Hall离子源/推进器的主要不同之处在于圆柱形结构，具有增强的尖点型磁场的径向分量。在证券交易委员会。在我们的论文中，上述描述也是从以下几个方面得出的：“参考文献[1]提出了一种圆柱型霍尔推进器。6，如图1a所示。该推进器由氮化硼陶瓷通道、兼作气体分配器的环形阳极、两个电磁线圈和磁芯组成。这种推进器与传统的环形和端霍尔推进器的不同之处在于圆柱形结构，具有增强的尖点型磁场径向分量图1b。在我们的论文中，我们只打算简要介绍其他研究人员在不同霍尔离子源或推进器上的工作，特别是关于磁场分布的工作。我们无意比较不同离子源，包括红隧和其他霍尔离子源/推进器的性能。因此，如此详细的比较超出了我们的论文范围。此外，如果他们想要将他们的CHT与End Hall源EHS和我们的圆柱形霍尔源进行比较，他们应该提交一篇常规论文，而不是对我们的论文发表评论。我们认为，对发表的论文的评论应该集中在所提供的数据上，而不是关于导言中的一句话，因为这句话对论文的其余部分影响很小。
The comments by Raitses et al. are basically about the comparison between their ion source and the one described in our paper stated in Sec. I. First of all, they do not question our data or the performance of our ion source. After reading their comments carefully, we have the following comments. Raitses et al. may have misread our description. “A cylindrical Hall thruster with a cusp magnetic field for enhanced ionization, especially a low-power Hall thruster, has been investigated by Smirnov et al. The major difference from a conventional end-Hall ion source/thruster is the cylindrical configuration with an enhanced radial component of a cusp-type magnetic field.” In Sec. I of our paper, the above description is also concluded from the following: “A cylindrical Hall thruster CHT , suggested in Ref. 6, is illustrated in Fig. 1 a . The thruster consists of a boron nitride ceramic channel, an annular anode, which serves also as a gas distributor, two electromagnetic coils, and magnetic core. What distinguishes this thruster from conventional annular and end-Hall thrusters is the cylindrical configuration with an enhanced radial component of the cusp-type magnetic field Fig. 1 b .”In our paper, we intended to only briefly introduce other researchers’ works on different Hall ion sources or thrusters, especially about magnetic field distribution. We had no intention to compare the performance of different ion sources, including the CHT and other hall ion sources/thrusters. Therefore, such a detailed comparison is beyond the scope of our paper. In addition, if they want to compare their CHT with the end Hall sources EHS and our cylindrical hall ion source, they should submit a regular paper rather than comment on our paper. It is our belief that comments about a published paper should focus on the data presented, not about one sentence in the introduction that has very little impact on the rest of the paper.
