A Decadal Assessment of Plasma Science
Abstract
This project will partially support the next decadal survey for plasma science. Conducted by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (the National Academies), the report produced through this project will provide valuable information and guidance on issues that pertain to plasma science to federal policy makers in both Congress and the Administration, the agencies and their programs that support this field, research communities, and the general public. The report will discuss progress that has taken place in the plasma science over the past ten years and will identify new opportunities and compelling scientific questions for the field over the next decade. The report will also discuss how advances by plasma science researchers, both in our understanding of plasmas and in our technological capabilities for studying this field, are having strong positive impacts in other fields of research as well as in meeting broader national needs. Finally, portions of the report will be written with a lay audience in mind, and so it is hoped that the report will enhance the public understanding of plasma science and the roles that it plays in other sciences and society at large.
