This paper investigates the validity of the orbital-motion theory for cylindrical Langmuir probes immersed in flowing-afterglow plasmas. Measurements in recombining plasmas support the conclusion that only the electron densities derived from probe measurements can be trusted to be of acceptable accuracy.
