Abstract
Various regimes of Brownian motion of interacting (charged) dust particles in a plasma have been experimentally studied. A new analytical model for the correct description of the mass transfer dynamics of such particles, including the transition between the ballistic and diffusion regimes of their motion, has been proposed and experimentally tested.
