Guided-Wave-Produced-Plasmas

Abstract

The abstract of a topical lecture on diffusion-controlled gas discharges sustained in the field of travelling waves is presented in this contribution. Based on discharge models within the fluid plasma theory, the maintenance of discharges without and in external magnetic field is discussed. The mechanisms of the discharge self-consistency and of the electron heating are shown. The final results from the models are for the self-consistent axial structure of the discharges.
