Despite the importance of basic plasma experiments to plasma science, there have been clear warning signs for more than a decade of a deficiency in this area. This was expressed clearly in the Brinkman report, Physics Through the l990s, written almost a decade agog The finding of the panel is that this situation has worsened since the Brinkman report was issued.

Important achievements include a deeper understanding of the interaction of plasma waves with plasma particles. Many important nonlinear plasma processes have been isolated and understood, including some aspects of double layers, which, as discussed above, are the nonlinear interfaces between regions of plasma with distinctly different plasma properties; the effects of ponderomotive forces in causing the reorganization of plasmas; the filamentation of electromagnetic radiation in plasmas; and some aspects of the reconnection of magnetic field lines and magnetic reconfiguration of plasmas.
