Plasma research at the group EPG Winfred Stoffels
Winfred Stoffels STOOR EPG: Reseach Aim: Understanding of technological plasmas Approach: Systematic combination of polydiagnostic experimental work with (numerical) plasmamodels `
Winfred Stoffels STOOR What is a plasma? Ionised gas (by electricity, radiation, chemical energy, heat, etc.) Source of: - energy - ions - radicals - light A +, B -, e, radicals +-
Winfred Stoffels STOOR EPG: Themes Plasma treatment of living tissues Corona & pulsed discharges Material science (rf and microwave, complex plasmas) Extreme plasmas (EUV, laser wake field, hydrogen) Light
