An efficient way to ionize the gas for MHD acceleration is through electron beam ionization where high-energy electrons are injected directly into the flow. Plasma Fueled Engines (PFE) offer a means ...

An interesting topic, therefore, discussed by Xi-Cheng Zhang of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York, USA, was a scheme for sensing THz waves in air using the ionization of gas plasma.

A NUMBER of gas chromatography detectors depending on ionization of the eluted gases have recently been reported 1. Ionization has been effected either by β-rays from a radioactive source ...

These fuels are the largest contributors to greenhouse gas emissions ... the necessary density for effective plasma ...

The study, appearing in Nuclear Fusion, evaluated actuator configurations, in particular those used to control neutral gas flowing in and out of the tokamak. A power-producing fusion plasma must ...
