Scientific paper

Results from reports on the Alfven critical-ionization-velocity (CIV) phenomenon are reviewed, with emphasis placed on comparisons between experimental and theoretical results. Special attention is given to the velocity measurements performed in laboratory, the effect of wall interaction, the experimental and theoretical limits to the magnetic field strength and the neutral density, the ionospheric release experiments, the theoretical models for electron energization and their comparison to experimental results, and the CIV models. It is shown that the CIV phenomenon is due to several different mechanisms which are applicable in different parameter regimes and geometries and that in order to understand the CIV mechanism, it is necessary to consider a large number of interlocking collisional and plasma processes.
