Non-neutral Plasma Physics II

Annotation The study of non-neutral plasmas in traps is the keystone that connects parts of atomic and molecular physics, fluid dynamics, condensed matter physics, astrophysics, and antimatter physics with a variety of technologies such as atomic clocks, cyclotron mass spectrometers and a new standard for a pressure gauge, coherent radiation sources, accelerators, and fusion. Among the topics in 32 papers: long ion plasma confinement times with a "rotating wall"; pressure measurement using a pure electron plasma; and laser-cooled trapped-ion experiments at NIST. Includes an introduction by C.W. Roberson. No subject index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
