Description

A mechanism for double-layer formation in partially- or fully-ionized plasmas is described, founded on beam-plasma interaction: rf growth along the beam excites a rectified, ponderomotive electric field, which in turn causes charge separation. Laboratory studies of the mechanism are described. (Auth.)
