Large Volume Non-Equilibrium Air Plasma at Atmospheric Pressure: A Novel Method with Low Power Requirements

Abstract

This document is the final technical report on the research activities carried out under AFOSR Grant F49620-03-1-0325. Here we present our research results, which took place in the last three years and a half. Particularly, during the later period of performance the focus of our activities was on carrying out diagnostics on plasma devices based on new approaches that use high voltage narrow pulses to ignite the plasma. These novel approaches allow for the generation of non-thermal high-pressure discharges that can be used as radiation sources and for biomedical applications.
