Observation of the effects of dust particles on plasma fluctuation spectra.

Phys Rev Lett

Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische Physik, D-85741 Garching, Germany.

Published: August 2007

Charged dust particles are theoretically expected to modify the amplitude and spectrum of plasma fluctuations, and this can eventually provide novel diagnostic tools. Direct experimental evidence of the effects of dust particles on the fluctuations of a low collisionality plasma is reported, in agreement with the expectations of kinetic theory.
