Abstract

A theoretical model is proposed that describes the main kinetic mechanisms operating in a dust plasma formed upon the bulk ionization of a dense gas by a hard factor. An expression is derived for the ion density distribution around a charged dust particle. It is shown that ions in the plasma recombine with charged dust particles according to the Langevin mechanism. A condition is established under which the dust particles are bearing all the negative charge in the plasma, compensated by the positive charge of ion clouds. A new criterion for manifestation of the collective properties in the dust plasma is formulated.
