Experimental systems of fine-particle plasmas under microgravity

第25回宇宙利用シンポジウム(2009年1月14日-15日, 宇宙航空研究開発機構宇宙科学研究本部相模原キャンパス)
The Twenty-fifth Space Utilization Symposium (January 14-15, 2009: ISAS/JAXA Sagamihara, Japan)
In order to verify the existence of critical point in a fine particle plasma, we are carrying out theoretical analysis and experiments using an experimental model of the PK-3 Plus system that is installed in ISS. Along with the experiments, we are also developing a new plasma system, which applies planar magnetron plasma. Preliminary experiments with the new system under gravity showed the generation of a loop of plasma and the potentiality of the generation without the formation of a "void" of fine particles under microgravity.
