Abstract :
High-energy electron beams offer a unique alternative to discharges as plasma sources for material processing. In this paper, we present several images of sheetlike beams produced in a variety of gases and in different configurations. In addition to their aesthetic value, the images provide insight into the plasma and system properties.
