From page 30... ...
in the knowledge of waves and instabilities resulting from fusion and space physics research, can now be brought to bear on the problem of partially ionized, multispecies plasmas. These studies would differ from the modeling work discussed in Chapter 2 in that they concern isolated problems rather than the whole final product.

From page 31... ...
In electrodeless rf discharges, however, extremely large electric fields can be applied without arcing. In that case, some electrons can "run away" into a velocity region of decreasing cross section and therefore reach ionizing energies even when the mean free path for a thermal electron is extremely short.

An opportunity exists for NRL to draw on this expertise and focus its basic research on understanding the intrinsic behavior of low-temperature plasmas.
