Gi. Dolgachev et al., DETECTION OF TURBULENT-PLASMA FLUCTUATIONS IN A PLASMA OPENING SWITCHBY THE LASER-SCATTERING TECHNIQUE, Plasma physics reports, 24(3), 1998, pp. 198-201
In experiments with a microsecond plasma opening switch, the scatterin
g of probing laser radiation is detected. The level of plasma turbulen
ce of the values of electric and magnetic fields for which this effect
can be observed are estimated, and the possible role of electrostatic
oscillations and helicons is analyzed.
