  • Abstract
    Results of a numerical study which models experiments on a low energy electron beam probe of relativistic plasma waves are discussed. The plasma wave modifies the electron beam cross section and energy distribution. Qualitative results of current experiments on the optical breakdown of helium and argon gas by CO2 laser light in a plasma shutter are presented
