    • 48th Annual Gaseous Electronics Conference October 9-13, 1955 Berkeley, California, USA

    The Gaseous Electronics Conference invites papers on basic phenomena and plasma processes in ionized gases, and on the relevant theory and measurements of basic atomic and molecular collisional processes. Specifically, papers are encoureged on the roles of fundamental processes in the electrical breakdown of gases and maintenance of discharges of all types, in gas lasers, ion sources, plasma chemistry, plasma-surface interactions, plasma processing, ionospheric phenomena and similar topics. Although most papers deal with low-energy processes, papers concerned with electronic or radiative processes produced by high-energy electrons or heavy particles are appropriate and encouraged.
