New elementary experiments in plasma physics

I. Alexeff, J.T. Pytlinski, Norman L. Oleson · American Journal of Physics · 1977

Several plasma physics experiments especially suitable for an undergraduate physics laboratory are described. The experiments can be set up using commercially available gas tubes and standard electronic equipment available in most university or college laboratories. The simplicity of the equipment involved and its low cost are features of these experiments. An introductory plasma physics course or a modern physics course gives adequate theoretical background to perform the experiments.
