Non-Neutral Plasma Physics IV : Workshop on Non-Neutral Plasmas, San Diego, California, 30 July-2 August 2001
Non-neutral plasmas are clouds of electrons or ions or anti-matter particles contained in a vacuum by magnetic and electric fields. Experiments on these simplest of plasmas give precise tests of basic theories of equilibrium, waves, and cross-field transport. Technical applications include positron beams, mass spectroscopy, quantum computing, and beams for free-electron lasers.
