Test Charge Response of a Dusty Plasma with Grain Size Distribution and Charging Dynamics

Test Charge Response of a Dusty Plasma with Grain Size Distribution and Charging Dynamics

This doctoral thesis reports analytical and numerical results for the electrostatic response of a dusty plasma to a moving test charge. Two important physical aspects of dusty plasmas, namely grain size distribution and grain charging dynamics were taken into account. In the first case, a dusty plas...
