Product Description

Basic Plasma Physics
The development of plasma physics science in the 1900’s has repeatedly shown the need for controlled laboratory experiments, and studies of real plasma in space, in order to benchmark and test theoretical understanding. A laboratory-experimental programme for the identification and study of selected problems in plasma physics was started by nobel laureate Hannes Alfvén in the 1950 - 60’s, and has contributed with many pioneering discoveries over the years. Some of the more recent research areas have been, with very approximate dates

  • The Critical Ionization Velocity, CIV, laboratory experiments (–1990)
  • The Critical Ionization Velocity, CIV, rocket experiments (1987–1995)
  • Double layers, basic properties (–1990)
  • Beam-plasma interaction at double layers (1990–2000)

This basic plasma physics programme at KTH is now, since about year 2000, reoriented towards projects that are directly motivated by space physics problems. Many of these projects however still give considerable spin-off in the form of more general, basic plasma physics, character, for example:
