Equilibrium and Transport in Strongly Coupled and Magnetized Plasmas

POSTER

Abstract

Ultra-Cold plasmas obtained by ionization of atomic Rydberg states are qualified as classical and strongly coupled electron fluid.They are shown to share several common trends with ultra-cold electron flows used for ion beam cooling.They exhibit specific stopping behavior to charged particle beams,which may be used for diagnostics purposes [1]. Ultra-Cold plasmas are easily strongly magnetized.Then,one expects a strongly anisotropic behavior of low ion velocity slowing down when target electron cyclotron radius turns smaller than corresponding Debye length. \\[4pt] [1] C.
