等離子體源科學(xué)與技術(shù)(PSST)報告了低溫等離子體和電離氣體在各種氣體壓力和等離子體密度范圍內(nèi)以不同程度的電離作用運行的情況。PSST的重點是這些等離子體的基礎(chǔ)科學(xué)，它們的來源，以及通過理論、計算或?qū)嶒灱夹g(shù)闡明的由它們引發(fā)或維持的物理和化學(xué)過程。PSST還報告了研究低溫等離子體所需的新的實驗或理論推導(dǎo)的基本數(shù)據(jù)(例如截面、輸運系數(shù))。有關(guān)這些等離子體的技術(shù)和應(yīng)用的報道應(yīng)與等離子體狀態(tài)下發(fā)生的科學(xué)和基本過程密切相關(guān)。

Plasma Sources Science and Technology (PSST) reports on low-temperature plasmas and ionized gases operating over all ranges of gas pressure and plasma density, with varying degrees of ionization. The emphasis of PSST is on the fundamental science of these plasmas, their sources and the physical and chemical processes initiated or sustained by them, as elucidated through theoretical, computational or experimental techniques. PSST also reports on new experimentally or theoretically derived fundamental data (e.g. cross sections, transport coefficients) required for investigation of low temperature plasmas. Reports that relate to the technology and applications of these plasmas should be closely linked to the science and fundamental processes occurring in the plasma state.
