It is noted that experiments involving plasmas are often complicated by instabilities in the discharge which may result in anode potential fluctuations. Work is in progress to determine the characteristics of this unwanted noise. During the report period impedance characteristics were examined in more detail to determine their relations with noise production. The construction of other plasma tubes designed to determine noise data under widely varying conditions is reported. In other work, the suppression of noise by the use of an axial magnetic field was investigated. A discussion of the wide variation in the noise spectra observed in the mercury vapor plasma tubes is iucluded along with speculations concerning the basic noisegeneration mechanism. Also included are equipment diagrams and figures in which data are presented. (J.R.D.)
