Reply to the Comment on ‘The plasma–sheath transition in low temperature plasmas: on the existence of a collisionally modified Bohm criterion’

Abstract

The newly found ‘collisionally modified Bohm criterion’ does not result from arbitrary definitions but from a systematic analysis of the sheath dynamics under the assumption λD ≪ l, where λD is the local Debye length and l the local ion gradient length. It is also not related to a point of inflection but to a removable singularity.
