Plasmas are as rich as any other state of matter in terms of distinct processes and they encompass distinguishable scales ranging from the atomic to the galactic. Opportunities in plasma science and technology reflect this breadth in phenomena and scales; one recent list contains 135 subject areas and 65 applications areas including semiconductor production, thin-film diamond deposition, toxic waste disposal, plasma arcs for steel processing, laser self-focusing, fusion for energy production, gas and arc lamps, cutting and welding, etc.     The NEWSGROUP for Plasma Science and Technology is intended as a community forum for sharing new developments and bringing  researchers together for potential new collaborations. During 1994,  the focus of this NewsGroup will be a community-wide dialogue to  formulate a Plasma Science and Technology Initiative which would  deliver big-science value with a medium-scale investment.  Participation in this dialogue will involve primarily researchers  in plasma science and technology although qualified researchers  in all related fields are welcome. Steering Committees for the  Division of Plasma Physics of the American Physical Society (APS)  and the Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society of IEEE (Institute of  Electrical and Electronics Engineers) have given formal approval  for this network dialogue.    In its initial implementation, Dr. Tim Eastman will be the PLASMA NEWSGROUP moderator. He is a Research Faculty member of the Institute for Physical Science and Technology at the University of Maryland [ph: 301-405-4829, fax: 301-314-9363,  email: [email protected]].  The APS and IEEE Steering Committees will renew or replace the moderator on a yearly basis.   NOTE: The NewsGroup name "sci.physics.fusion" already exists and is appropriate for the subset of Plasma Science and Technology which focuses on high-temperature plasmas for energy production (i.e., fusion).  The proposed NEWSGROUP for PLASMAS is intended to complement the "fusion" group and will primarily orient itself to issues of Plasma Science and Technology other than fusion. The NewsGroup name "sci.physics.plasma" would work and could be used in parallel with "sci.physics.fusion."  However, because Plasma Science and Technology is more inclusive (including Plasma Chemistry and various Engineering topics within Plasma Technology), the NewsGroup name "sci.plasma" might be appropriate with fusion handled as a subset "sci.plasma.fusion."

The proposed NEWSGROUP for PLASMA is intended to complement the  "fusion" group and will primarily orient itself to issues of  Plasma Science and Technology other than fusion.   Why the NewsGroup for Plasma Science & Technology is needed and should pass:  Representatives and members of the Plasma Science and Technology research  community have long recognized a need to communicate information and issues that affect the broader community in addition to the several email groups that currently exist at the local level or sub-field level (e.g., the Plasma Etch User's Group in the Bay area).  Formal support for setting up this NewsGroup has now been given (as of Nov. 1993) by the key Executive  Committees representing this broad multi-disciplinary field.  In order to focus the discussion during the NewsGroup's first year, we will encourage a community-wide dialogue to formulate a major Plasma Science and Technology Initiative.  The NewsGroup would then complement a Workshop on this topic at the International Conference in Plasma Science in June, 1994.  Even after this initiative is formulated and is no longer a focus of discussion, the NewsGroup will provide a valuable service to the community by encouraging contacts and research coordination that might otherwise never develop. Use of the NewsGroup will be encouraged through scientific meetings and through timely announcements of job opportunities, research opportunities,  and funding options.
