Abstract :
One of the remarkable plasma effects experimentally discovered is the large increase in plasma density at the same average power input provided by pulsing the power input1. In our experiments, a density increase of over 100 has been observed. Although various experimenters have observed similar effects using different power input techniques, to my knowledge no one has provided a theoretical explanation as yet.
