How can we find out the characteristics of plasma (density and temperature) using a magnetic field?

imqwerty:

Use a particle accelerator (Cyclotron) to accelerate the plasma (charged). That will cause it to emit radiation (Cyclotron radiation). Analyzing the radiation spectrum, you can find the electron Temperature and find the density from the radiation's power, which is proportional to the electron temperature and density.
