Study of Cryogenic Complex Plasma
Abstract
This Report describes the investigation entitled by "Study of Cryogenic Complex Plasma." The research has been carried out at Yokohama National University. Our overall goal is to study the cryogenic complex plasma experimentally and theoretically and to reveal novel natures of cryogenic complex plasma produced by a stable discharge above or in superfluid liquid helium. Two Dewar bottles, YD-1 (Yokohama Dewar 1) and YD-2 (Yokohama Dewar 2), accommodate cryogenic plasma with dust particles. The cryogenic rf plasma and complex plasma was produced in a glass tube in YD-1, although cryogenic complex plasma has not been produced yet. The cryogenic plasma has been produced in the vapor of the liquid helium in YD-2 device, but the cryogenic complex plasma has not been clearly observed in YD-2 yet. The linear device YCOPEX (Yokohama Complex Plasma Experiment) has been assembled to study the fundamental physics of room temperature complex plasma which supports the diagnostics of complex plasma to be applied to YD-1 and YD-2.
