Description
In a current-carrying plasma with v/sub d/1 is demonstrated. High-frequency (approx. =f/sub p/e) noise and low-frequency (<f/sub p/i) noise with W/nT/sub e/approx. =0.2 peak around the transition region. Ion and electron heating is observed. High anomalous resistivity is found on the hihg-potential side of the jump, with a maximum value within the jump
