We study the influence of finite conductivity of metals on the Casimir effect. We put the
emphasis on explicit theoretical evaluations which can help comparing experimental results …

Aims. Supersonic turbulence is a large reservoir of suprathermal energy in the interstellar
medium. Its dissipation, because it is intermittent in space and time, can deeply modify the …

Context. Tens of light hydrides and small molecules have now been detected over several
hundreds sightlines sampling the diffuse interstellar medium (ISM) in both the solar …

A tripolar vortex, three aligned vortices with alternate signs of polarity of rotation, has been
observed in a plasma for the first time. The tripolar vortex always appears with a deep …

Electron cyclotron resonance ion sources (ECRIS) are widely used plasma based machines
for the production of intense ion beams in science and industry. The performance of modern …

Rare decays of beauty particles were studied in several charmless modes using the data
collected with the DELPHI detector at LEP from 1991 to 1994. These decays are mediated …

Laser-cooled and trapped cesium atoms have been used as a nonlinear medium in a nearly
resonant cavity. A study of the semiclassical dynamics of the system was performed …

A plasma reactor operates at the Laboratori Nazionali del Sud of INFN, Catania, and it has
been used as a test-bench for the investigation of innovative mechanisms of plasma ignition …

Technical plasmas have a wide range of industrial applications. The Encyclopedia of
Plasma Technology covers all aspects of plasma technology from the fundamentals to a …

Electrostatic perturbations with low frequencies less than or comparable to the ion cyclotron
frequency are analyzed in bounded and inhomogeneous plasmas. The effects of an …
