1. Plasma particles and families of ionized gases
1.1 Definition
In what follows, we shall confine ourselves to the case of gaseous plasmas.
The latter are a mixture of electrons, ions and neutral particles. Since electrons have a much lower mass than other particles : m H /m e = 1,836
with :
- m H :
-
mass of a hydrogen atom
- m e :
-
electron mass,
ions and neutrals are called heavy particles....
