Abstract
This paper presents a survey of selected results of laboratory experiments and numerical simulations of plasma double layers. Emphasis is given to discrimination between features peculiar to the experimental or numerical investigation and results which may have general implications for double layers in space similar to that of laser or particle beam produced plasma. The discussion concentrates on certain aspects pertaining to dynamics, structure, and stability of double layers considering the effects of boundary conditions (trapped particles, Bohm conditions, and applied potentials), waves and turbulence, collisions, and volume ionization.
