Nonneutral plasmas; heat and particle transport across magnetic fields

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 and 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 these non-neutral plasma
relax 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 also developing new techniques diagnosing thermally-excited convective cells, which stimulated
considerable interest in the plasma community. Dr. Anderegg was elected Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2002.
