Preface to Special Topic: Collective Effects in Particle Beams and Nonneutral Plasmas
Abstract
Nonneutral plasmas are plasma systems in which there is no overall charge neutrality, including the limit of systems that are fully unneutralized in which there are particles of only a single sign of charge. Here, examples of nonneutral plasmas include charged-particle beams, pure electron plasmas, pure positron plasmas, and pure-ion plasmas consisting of a variety of ion charge states in a single trap. A key feature of nonneutral plasmas which distinguishes them from quasineutral plasmas is that their self-electric and self-magnetic fields can play a dominant role in the behavior of the system. Moreover, single-component plasmas can be confined in states of global thermal equilibrium, enabling detailed theoretical and experimental studies of fundamental plasma phenomena and precise testing of models.
