Abstract

The afterglow of a weakly ionized plasma is investigated in the presence of a uniform axial magnetic field, which is varied from 0 to 900 G. Evidence of enhanced diffusion is observed and is associated with instabilities in the afterglow. In those cases for which the afterglow is quiescent, the magnetic field dependence of the transverse ambipolar diffusion coefficient is in agreement with that predicted by classical diffusion theory.
