Plasmaparameter

The plasma parameters in the physics of plasmas a possible size for categorization: for a gas called plasma. He is a dimensionless particle number and results from the multiplication of the number density of the plasma with the spherical volume of the Debye length:

He thus indicates how many particles are within the Debye sphere. This applies to the more particles, the stronger the electric fields of the electrons and ions in the plasma to be shielded, resulting in quasi- neutrality.

Typical values ​​for the plasma parameters are:
