The temporal characteristics of the Xe$^+$ ion axial Velocity Distribution Function (VDF) were recorded in the course of low-frequency discharge current oscillations ($\sim$~14 kHz) of the 5 kW-class PPS$\circledR$X000 Hall thruster. The evolution in time of the ion axial velocity component is monitored by means of a laser induced fluorescence diag...

In spite of recent conceptual and experimental advances, the ultimate nature of the wave function in quantum theory remains nebulous. Is it a mathematical device that describes our knowledge on a physical system or is it a physical field in any tenable sense? In this work we report on significant experimental steps toward a test on the reality of t...
