Plasma Physics

In the Plasma Physics Laboratory phenomena in magnetized plasmas are studied. Experimental research work in recent years has been concerned with electronic double layer in the weakly magnetized plasma produced by a DC discharge with a hot cathode, and the development of microcomputer supported plasma diagnostic equipment. Theoretical research is focused on the interaction of laser light with plasmas.
