Critical Need for a National Initiative in Low Temperature Plasma Research

Plasma Physics 2020-07-21 v1

Abstract

In the white paper we describe a national program in Low Temperature Plasma (LTP). The program should take advantage of the research opportunities of 3 rapidly growing areas (nanomaterial plasma synthesis, plasma medicine, microelectronics). The main theme is to achieve a fundamental understanding of Low Temperature Plasmas as they are applied to these different applications. This understanding will allow U.S. industry to meet the challenges of international competition.
