Dr. Francois Anderegg's research in nonneutral plasmas is focused mainly in
the areas of particle and heat transport across the magnetic field. He
controls, diagnoses and manipulates pure ion plasma with CW frequency
doubled lasers. He has developed a 'rotating wall' technique allowing
confinement of pure ion or electron plasma for period of weeks. Since
non-neutral plasmas have the exceptional property of relaxing to a state of
thermal equilibrium, he has used thermally excited plasma wave
('Trivelpiece-Gould' mode) to probe the intimate nature of these systems. He is developing new techniques diagnosing thermally-excited convective cells, which stimulated considerable interest in the plasma community. He is currently working on collision rate measurement in laser-cooled correlated plasmas. He is also using coherent fluorescence technique to measure the intimate wave particle interaction of newly discovered Electron Acoustic wave.
Dr. Anderegg was elected Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2002.
