Abstract
The problem is considered of a cloud of neutral dust moving into a cloud of static plasma which is confined in a magnetic field. Earlier experiments with rotating plasma devices and plasma guns on critical velocity limitation suggest that such limitation could also arise in the case of plasma-neutral dust interaction in cosmos.
Nevertheless further analysis is required to provide a clear picture of the relations between the cosmical and laboratory conditions for plasma-neutral gas and plasma-neutral dust interaction. In particular this applies to the question how to relate the experiments, which are largely in the plasma-physical MHD range, to the cosmical interaction which appears to be mainly governed by kinetic effects.
Paper dedicated to Professor Hannes Alfvén on the occasion of his 80th birthday, 30 May 1988.
