First, we must look for a concept or concepts that are inherently small in size, which means
high plasma density.
PPPL researchers have now found the disparity
in plasma density in experiments conducted on the MRX.
They derived the limit density for laser hole boring, which corresponds to the
maximum plasma density laser light can reach.
In addition, antennas tuned to the
right plasma densities can be sensitive to lower radio frequencies while remaining unresponsive to the higher frequencies used by most radars.
Different types of reactors take different approaches: Tokamaks aim for
low plasma densities but long confinement time; laser fusion opts for extremely high density but only for billionths of a second.
The motions of objects beyond the heliosphere showed that the charged gas, or plasma, that fills the space between stars should be much denser outside the border than within, and the Voyager team was at last convinced of an exit from the heliosphere thanks to a sudden increase
in plasma density.
Altering
the plasma density by adjusting the applied power changes the radio frequencies it broadcasts and picks up.

the plasma density limit: Japanese researchers show plasma density limit for the interaction of high - power lasers with matter.»
We know approximately how much of certain atoms must be made in a given type of star, says Mac Low, but lab - based experiments could help nail down exact numbers under various conditions, such as changing temperatures or
plasma density.
The first is the FIELDS experiment which will examine the different fields in the corona, including the Sun's magnetic field, electric fields, waves,
plasma density, electron temperature, density fluctuations and radio emissions.
The combined electron and ion heating altered the gradient, or spatial rate of change in
the plasma density.
