ROLE
OF MODERATOR:
sci.physics.plasma is a moderated newsgroup.
All
postings are sent to the moderator who checks to see that the posting
conforms

PLASMA SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY HOMEPAGE:
Tim Eastman
acts as internet/web coordinator for non-affiliated
plasma science &
technology activities and maintains the
the web homepage for plasma science and technology

This
is the nearest thing the newsgroup has to an FAQ

CHARTER: NEWSGROUP
for Plasma Science and Technology
The Plasma Science and Technology
research community seeks an
increased dialogue among its multifarious constituencies.
Plasmas
are as rich as any other state of matter in terms of distinct
processes
and they encompass distinguishable scales ranging from the
atomic to the
galactic. Opportunities in plasma science and technology
reflect this
breadth in phenomena and scales; one recent list contains
close to 200
subject areas and more than 90 applications areas including
thin-film
diamond deposition, toxic waste disposal, plasma arcs for steel
processing,
laser self-focusing, fusion for energy production, gas and
arc lamps,
cutting and welding, and semiconductor production.
The NEWSGROUP for
Plasma Science and Technology is intended
as a community forum for sharing
new developments and bringing
researchers together for potential new
collaborations. [The newsgroup
also
provides a forum for public outreach and education. Postings from
students and the general public are welcome as
we all help one another
in learning more about the "fourth state of
matter" and its enormous range
of applications.]
