Summary
At the Greifswald Branch of IPP the linear plasma generator VINETA (Versatile Instrument for Studies on Nonlinearity, Electromagnetism, Turbulence and Application) is operated to study the basic dynamics of a magnetised plasma, i.e. the behaviour of plasmas waves, turbulence and instabilities as well as basic questions of plasma edge physics. VINETA allows one to establish precisely the respective plasma modi and to conduct detailed experimental investigations.
