Electron Beam Generated Plasmas: Theory, Experiments, Applications

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((ASHT,volume 67))

Abstract

The review of results of investigations, carried out during last 30 years in GPI, on fundamental physical processes and applications of plasmas generated by long-pulse non-relativistic electron beams, as well as by high-current, short pulse relativistic electron beams (REB) is presented. The applications in the case, when low-density plasmas are generated, deal with using such plasmas in high-power plasma microwave electronics, whereas in the case, when high-density plasmas are created, the applications in laser physics are discussed.
