Plasma production and measurements : dc discharge, rf discharge, photo-ionization, tunnel ionization, avalanche breakdown, laser produced plasmas, Langmuir probe. A warm, relativistic fluid theory of a nonequilibrium, collisionless plasma is developed to analyze nonlinear plasma waves excited byintense drive beams. Irving Langmuir explored waves in plasmas (see Oscillations in Ionized Gases) back in the late 1920s and defined a quantity called the plasma frequency (see also wikipedia: Plasma waves & Waves in Plasmas). Hot topic: Loops of superheated plasma circulate in the Sun's corona. Elusive waves observed in Sun's corona. Throughout the universe more than 99 percent of matter looks nothing like what's on Earth. Posted on June 5, 2013 by Physics Today · BBC: Electroencephalography (EEG) measures electrical activity on the scalp generated by the firing of neurons in the brain. We also consider expansion into cold unmagnetized external medium both for stationary initial conditions and for initially moving plasma, as well as reflection of rarefaction wave from a wall. Pilot's brain waves remotely control the flight of a model helicopter. Into vacuum, valid for arbitrary magnetization.
