Jean-Paul Booth

**Research interests** Physics and chemistry of electrical discharges in reactive gases and their interaction with surfaces. Development of novel diagnostic techniques for reactive plasmas : optical techniques for measuring reactive species densities and kinetics, electric fields, and electrical plasma measurements. Laser-induced fluorescence, Ion Flux Probes, cavity ring-down spectroscopy, broad-band absorption spectroscopy, microwave resonance techniques for electron density measurements. Development of sensors for in-situ control of industrial plasma processes. Physics of capacitively-coupled radiofrequency plasmas : tailored voltage waveform excitation for control of ion and electron fluxes and energy distributions. Gas breakdown in RF fields. **Brief vitae** *2000-Present* : Directeur de Recherche, CNRS at LPP, except : *2006-2008* : Technical Director, Lam Research Corp, Fremont, CA, USA *1990-2000* : Chargé de Recherche, CNRS, Laboratoire de Spectrométrie Physique, Grenoble *1988-1990* : Post-doctoral researcher, CNRS/CNET, Meylan, France *1985-1988* : D.
