Dans un plasma thermique, connu aussi comme plasma chaud, l'énergie cinétique des électrons et celle des particules lourdes sont du même ordre de grandeur. Par contre, le plasma non thermique, appelé également le plasma froid, est un plasma en déséquilibre thermique. 7, record 1, French, - plasma%20non%20thermique%20%C3%A0%20pression%20atmosph%C3%A9rique
