Runaway ions in an expanding plasma

  • 1. P. N. Lebedev Physics Institute, Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Moscow

Description

Ion motion in an expanding multicomponent plasma is analyzed. Because of the self-consistent electric field which arises during the expansion, the friction between the ion components can be rendered inconsequential by ion ''runaway.'' The conditions for this runaway are studied. It is shown to occur in an expanding laser plasma
