  2. Plasma (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_(physics)

    Impermeable plasma is a type of thermal plasma which acts like an impermeable solid with respect to gas or cold plasma and can be physically pushed. Interaction of cold gas and thermal plasma was briefly studied by a group led by Hannes Alfvén in 1960s and 1970s for its possible applications in insulation of fusion plasma from the reactor ...

  3. Plasma parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_parameters

    The plasma collisionality is defined as [4] [5] =, where denotes the electron-ion collision frequency, is the major radius of the plasma, is the inverse aspect-ratio, and is the safety factor. The plasma parameters m i {\displaystyle m_{\mathrm {i} }} and T i {\displaystyle T_{\mathrm {i} }} denote, respectively, the mass and temperature of the ...

  4. Helically Symmetric Experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helically_Symmetric_Experiment

    A set of auxiliary coils is used to deliberately break the symmetry to mimic conventional stellarator properties for comparison. The HSX vacuum vessel is made of stainless steel, and is helically shaped to follow the magnetic geometry. Plasma formation and heating is achieved using 28 GHz, 100 kW electron cyclotron resonance heating

  5. Quark–gluon plasma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quark–gluon_plasma

    The magnitude of the energy loss by the parton depends on the properties of the quark–gluon plasma (temperature, density). In addition, it is also necessary to take into account the fact that colored quarks and gluons are the elementary objects of the plasma, which differs from the energy loss by a parton in a medium consisting of colorless ...

  6. State of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter

    Artificial plasma produced in air by a Jacob's Ladder. The extremely strong potential difference between the two rods ionize particles in the air, creating a plasma. A gas is usually converted to a plasma in one of two ways, either from a huge voltage difference between two points, or by exposing it to extremely high temperatures.

  7. Plasma parameter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_parameter

    The plasma parameter is a dimensionless number, denoted by capital Lambda, Λ. The plasma parameter is usually interpreted to be the argument of the Coulomb logarithm, which is the ratio of the maximum impact parameter to the classical distance of closest approach in Coulomb scattering .

  8. Plasma diagnostics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_diagnostics

    Laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is a spectroscopic technique employed for the investigation of plasma properties by observing the fluorescence emitted when the plasma is stimulated by laser radiation. This method allows for the measurement of plasma parameters such as ion flow, ion temperature, magnetic field strength, and plasma density. [15]

  9. Non-neutral plasma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-neutral_plasma

    In physics a non-neutral plasma is a plasma whose net charge creates an electric field large enough to play an important or even dominant role in the plasma dynamics. [1] The simplest non-neutral plasmas are plasmas consisting of a single charge species.
