Abstract
High energy electron beams represent the most energy-efficient way of generating nonequilibrium plasmas, with power budget 2-3 orders of magnitude better than that of electric field-sustained discharges. The dynamics of plasmas generated in dense gases were analyzed by means of energetic electrons. Two distinct regimes are found, differing in a way that the excess negative charge brought in by the ionizing electron beam is removed.
