From page 45...
... If this trend is not reversed, the United States will be creating a future problem. Recommendations To fully exploit the potential of low-temperature plasma science and maximize its impact on the many relevant technological applications, the panel recommends that one agency within the government be given the responsibility for coordinating research in low-temperature plasma science.
From page 46...
... The panel recommends that the responsible agency focus on funding lowtemperature plasma science. Such projects would include the physics and chemistry of the plasma sheath; plasma stability; electrodeless plasma production; magnetic field effects on plasmas; improved diagnostics to help understand surface and sheath effects and plasma stability; energy and charge transfer from plasmas to particulates; and improved utilization of computers.
