Basic Studies in Plasma Physics

Abstract

An improved understanding of equilibrium and non-equilibrium properties of plasmas is central to many areas of basic science as well as to the development and optimal utilization of plasmas in various technologies. This involves the study of the large variety of phenomena which take place when neutral, partially ionized atoms and electrons interact strongly with external fields and with each other in a plasma. It includes also the problem of creation and maintenance, with as efficient power use as possible an extended plasma in the atmosphere such as is envisioned in the air plasma ramparts project.
