	Plasma (physics) Summary
		Plasma physics is concerned with the study of the physical characteristics, properties, and applications of plasmas.
		Plasma temperature is commonly measured in Kelvin or electron volts, and is (roughly speaking) a measure of the thermal kinetic energy per particle.
		While electric fields in plasmas are usually small due to the high conductivity, the electric field associated with a plasma moving in a magnetic field is not affected by Debye shielding.

	Advances in plasma physics at Annual APS Meeting
		The plasma window has allowed researchers to produce welds under normal atmospheric conditions that rival the quality of EBW welds performed in vacuum, which means size may no longer be a factor when it comes to large manufacturing applications that can benefit from electron beam welding.
		However, the task is complicated by the bursts from the 100-million-degree plasma that reach and threaten the life of the chamber surrounding the manmade sun.
		Measuring the mass distribution of dense plasmas is traditionally done using x rays in a fashion similar to dental radiographs; an x-ray source is placed near the plasma and an x-ray photograph of the plasma is recorded.

	Ionised Plasmas: Production of Luminous Decoys of Military Origin
		A plasma is a fluid composed of electrically neutral gaseous molecules, and of positive ions and negative electrons.
		Plasma is a gas heated to several hundred, thousands or millions of degrees, so it is normal that it should burn on contact, or even at some distance, according to its temperature.
		Plasmas with a higher density produced by a beam of electrons allow a radar wave with a frequency of less than 10 GHz to be reflected and may therefore be used just like a high speed adjustable "mirror" for radar

		The defining characteristic of a plasma is ionization.
		The ion temperature in a cold plasma is often near the ambient temperature.
		The possibility of currents couples the plasma strongly to magnetic fields, which are responsible for a large variety of structures such as filaments, sheets, and jets.

	Centre of Plasma Physics/Faculty
		In pursuance of the national policy recognising plasma physics as one of the thrust areas of the present day research, Government of Assam established the Centre of Plasma Physics in the year 1991 as a research institute to pursue basic research in theoretical as well as experimental plasma physics and its related areas.
		Using typical plasma parameters observed in the laboratory we have obtained the shock wave velocity is of the order of $10^5$ cm/sec and the width of the shock is of the order of $10^{-5}$ cm.
		Plasma processing is an emergent technology that utilizes unique and exotic properties of plasma to effect physical, chemical and metallurgical changes in the materials to produce either a new material or impart new properties to the conventional materials.

	CERN Courier - Focusing an antimatter beam - IOP Publishing - article
		The plasma lens was generated by ionizing the gas using a pulsed YAG laser operating at 10 Hz in the infrared region (wavelength 1064 nm) and delivering a pulse energy of 1.5 J. The relativistic positron beam exhibits effects from both its charge and its current.
		Upon entering an initially quiescent plasma, the plasma response to the intruding charge and current is such that the plasma electrons are attracted into the positron beam so as to neutralize the space charge of the beam and thereby cancel its radial electric field, which tends to self-repel the positrons.
		As the plasma focusing effect is transient, the monitoring of this synchrotron radiation provides an "on-line" measurement of the plasma focusing gradient.

	PowerPedia:Plasma - PESWiki
		The electron plasma frequency (measuring plasma oscillations of the electrons) is large compared to the electron-neutral collision frequency (measuring frequency of collisions between electrons and neutral particles).
		A plasma is sometimes referred to as being hot if it is nearly fully ionized, or cold if only a small fraction (for example 1%) of the gas molecules are ionized (but other definitions of the terms hot plasma and cold plasma are common).
		A nonthermal plasma is in general any plasma which is not in thermodynamic equilibrium, either because the ion temperature is different from the electron temperature, or because the velocity distribution of one of the species does not follow a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution.

		As the plasma beta is increased, magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities arise in the plasma.

	chapter 15
		In contrast to this, a plasma, particularly a fully ionized magnetized plasma, is a medium with basically l different properties: Typically it is strongly inhomogeneous and consists of l a network of filaments produced by line currents and surfaces of discontinuity.
		If instead a plasma beam is shot, one would expect either that it (b) produces an electric polarization so that it cam continue along a straight line, (c) follows the bend as m (a), or (d) continues to move straight forward bringing the "frozen-in", field lines with it.
		The difference between the laboratory plasma and the plasma of these theories may in some cases be due to the dissimilarity between laboratory and space, but more often it reflects the difference between a hypothetical medium and one that has physical reality.
