The quasiperiodic transition to chaos in an undriven discharge plasma has been investigated. Results from the power spectrum and Lyapunov exponents quantitatively confirm the transition to chaos through quasiperiodicity. A low-dimension strange attractor has been found for this kind of plasma chaos.
