Abstract

Classical solutions of the relativistic Vlasov–Maxwell system are considered, describing a collisionless plasma with two species of particles. ions and electrons. It is shown that as the ion mass m tends to infinity, the corresponding solution of the relativistic Vlasov–Maxwell system tends to the solution of a system, in which the ions are given by a fixed ion background and only the electrons move. The convergence is uniform on compact time intervals, with an asymptotic convergence rate of m^−1^.

We report here analytic solutions for weak ion acoustic double layers in an unmagnetized multi-species plasma having two electron components, each described by a Boltzmann distribution, and two ions of different masses, each described by usual fluid equations.

The working hypothesis of this study was that the chemical energy of matrix material may be released, although only on a microscale, under MeV ion bombardment and may assist ejection of large intact bioorganic molecules. To test the hypothesis, the performance of several common explosives, as matric

## Abstract The ion kinetic energy of a helium microwave plasma is studied using an orthogonal acceleration time‐of‐flight mass spectrometer. The ions produced in the plasma are extracted into the mass spectrometer in an ‘off‐cone’ mode (i.e. the helium plasma plume is off the sampler cone), and en
