Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetic Theory and Collisional Detachment
TL;DR: In this article, the role of collision energy considerations in the temperature dependence of negative ion collisional detachment was altered by Arnold [1964] on the basis of a more exact gas kinetic approach valid for elastic spheres.
New concepts in ionospheric modification. Final report, 15 April 1986-30 September 1987
TL;DR: In this paper, the ionospheric modification that can be produced by energetic charged-particle and photon beams, which are emitted from a platform or vehicle (spacecraft or rockets) located in the ionosphere, is considered.

Studies of dynamic processes related to active experiments in space plasmas
Peter M. Banks,Torsten Neubert +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a self-consistent model for the charge distribution on a moving conducting tether in a magnetized plasma and for the potential structure in the plasma surrounding the tether.
Plasma density enhancements created by the ionization of the Earth's upper atmosphere by artificial electron beams
Torsten Neubert,Peter M. Banks +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, analytical calculations and experimental observations relating to the interaction with the Earth's upper atmosphere of electron beams emitted from low altitude spacecraft are presented, where the problem is described by two coupled nonlinear differential equations in the up-going (along a magnetic field line) and down-going differential energy flux.
