This award will support acquisition of laser illumination/high-speed video imaging instruments that will allow for the study of particle motion in 3D particle suspensions and the collective behavior of dusty plasmas, i.e., studies of wave modes, includes frequency components that cannot be resolved with presently available commercial video cameras operating at 30 frames/s. Acquisition of video cameras that can record images at thousands of frames/s will permit detailed studies of dust wave modes that are either self-excited in the plasma or excited at frequencies synchronized by external modulation of discharge parameters. A laser with increased power and stability coupled with an image intensifier and high speed video camera will result in an LIF system with a signal-to-noise ratio that is presently unavailable. This powerful diagnostic will permit multi-point correlation studies of new nonlinear wave structures as well as the detection of linear waves of very small amplitude.

During this period, the PI and his students prepared 2 manuscripts for submission to Journals. 1- J. Heinrich, S H Kim, J. Meyer, and R. L. Merlino- Quiescent drifting dusty plasmas and temporal dust acoustic wave growth, Submitted to Physics of Plasmas. 2- K. A. Pacha, J. Heinrich, S H Kim, and R. L. Merlino, Observation of the Taylor instability in a dusty plasma, submitted to Physics of Plasmas. This award will support acquisition of laser illumination/high-speed video imaging instruments that will allow for the study of particle motion in 3D particle suspensions and the collective behavior of dusty plasmas, i.e., studies of wave modes, includes frequency components that cannot be resolved with presently available commercial video cameras operating at 30 frames/s.
