Plasma physics symposium

DEC 01, 1962
The series of articles reviewing various aspects of the physics of plasmas which appear in the following pages is based on papers given at a special symposium held as part of the spring meeting of the New York State Section of the American Physical Society on April 13 and 14, 1962. The introductory remarks below are those of the Section’s chairman, D. R. Morey.

Properties of a plasma are described by parameters such as degree of ionization, conductivity, shielding length, and plasma frequency, as was learned by the more than 200 participants at the Symposium on Plasma Physics which was organized by the New York State Section of the American Physical Society and held last spring in Tarrytown, N.Y. The meeting itself, in terms of properties, turned out to have sparkle, interaction, idea frequency, and questionanswer density.
