Measurements and Applications of Strongly Correlated Plasmas Generated in Dense Noble Gases
Abstract
The primary goal of the work proposed here is to further probe the physics of strongly coupled plasmas created by laser ignition in noble gasses where correlation effects resulting from mutual interactions among the ions are observed and are can no longer be considered a small perturbation. The theory necessary to describe these plasmas is significantly different from that of dilute plasmas, and so this understanding represents a significant contribution to the body of knowledge and plasma theory.
