		Plasma properties are strongly dependent on the bulk (or average) parameters.
		Plasma temperature is commonly measured in Kelvin or electron volts, and is (roughly speaking) a measure of the thermal kinetic energy per particle.
		The dynamics of plasmas interacting with external and self-generated magnetic fields are studied in the academic discipline of magnetohydrodynamics.

	Plasma (physics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In physics and chemistry, a plasma is typically an ionized gas, and is usually considered to be a distinct phase of matter in contrast to solids, liquids and gases.
		Plasma parameters can take on values varying by many orders of magnitude, but the properties of plasmas with apparently disparate parameters may be very similar (see plasma scaling).
		A plasma that has a significant excess of charge density or that is, in the extreme case, composed of only a single species, a called a non-neutral plasma.

		This is especially common in cold plasmas, where the ions are often near the ambient temperature.
		While electric fields in plasmas are usually small due to the high conductivity, the electric field associated with a plasma moving in a magntic field is not affected by Debye shielding.

	TFTR L~mode energy confinement
		The common L mode confinement scaling law on TFTR is also inversely proportional to the volume of wall material that is heated to a high temperature, possibly the temperature at which the deuterium sorbed in the material becomes detrapped and highly mobile.
		L mode scaling differs from supershot scaling since L mode confinement depends on the plasma current and the auxiliary heating power, while supershot confinement depends upon hydrogenic influxes (or parameters associated with those influxes) and is independent of the plasma current and applied heating power.
		H mode onset does superficially resemble the TFTR supershot scaling due to the coincident reduction of the deuterium influx at the onset of the confinement enhancement, and similar studies of H mode data are warranted.

		In physics and chemistry, a plasma is an ionized gas, and is usually considered to be a distinct phase of matter.
		Due to the good electrical conductivity, the electric fields in plasmas tend to be very small, although where double layers are formed, the potential drop can be large enough to accelerate ions to relativistic velocities and produce synchrotron radiation such as x-rays and gamma rays.
		For many purposes the electric field in a plasma may be treated as zero, although when current flows the voltage drop, though small, is finite, and density gradients are usually associated with an electric field according to the Boltzmann relation.

	Advanced Accelerator Concepts Workshop
		The particle beam drives a plasma wave and generates a strong wakefield which has a phase velocity equal to the velocity of the beam and can be used to accelerate part of the drive beam or a trailing beam.
		This scaling is predicted to hold despite the onset of a relativistic, nonlinear response by the plasma, when the number of beam particles occupying a cubic plasma skin-depth exceeds that of plasma electrons within the same volume.
		The peak accelerating field in the plasma wave excited behind the finite-length beam is also examined, with the artifact of wave spiking adding to the apparent persistence of linear scaling of the peak field amplitude into the nonlinear regime.

		Most of the plasma tvs on the market today are capable of projecting input signals other than their native resolutions.
		The plasma tv’s process of converting a different input format to its native output format is called "scaling." Some plasma screen tvs are very good at scaling, so the resulting image fuzziness is relatively minor, and the image is very adequate no matter what the source.
		If scaling is an important consideration, be sure you see it demonstrated as you would use it.

		Plasma Screen TVs are an array of cells, known as pixels, which are composed of 3 sub-pixels, corresponding to the colors red, green and blue.
		Plasma technology is different from that used in other display systems in that red, green and blue lights are created in every pixel, reducing the need for space.

		The scaling of the transport at constant magnetic field and at constant collisionality is shown here.
		When doing the scaling in normalised units, one must multiply the result by a factor of alpha_M^(1/2) in order to un-do the normalisation [if it were done at constant density the factor would be alpha_M^(1/2) because the normalised units for the transport scale like T^(3/2), where T is the temperature].
