A plasma consists of a collection of charged particles-and              has many properties not found in the more usual gases of neutral                atoms and molecules.  In particular, plasmas are affected                       directly by electric and magnetic fields, and these interactions                form a basic tool for plasma confinement and study.  Usually,                   plasmas have equal numbers of charged particles of both signs,                  and thus are overall electrically neutral.  In the work supported               here a unique type of plasma is formed and studied:  one                        consisting of particles (electrons) all of one sign of electric                 charge.  Such a plasma is particularly tractable experimentally,                and important aspects of its behavior can be isolated and                       measured free of conflicting effects.  One unique feature of such               pure-electron plasmas is that when cooled it is predicted to                    become first a liquid and then a solid.  These novel properties                 will be investigated.
