球状闪电与等离子体凝聚
Ball Lightning and Plasma Cohesion
摘要：
球状闪电的现象已经被观察了很长时间，但这些发光球的性质一直未知。这里提出，它们是由高激发态的里德伯原子组成的，这些原子具有大的极化率，并将它们结合在一起。因此，球的凝聚力来自光子交换力（伦敦色散力），而不是更常见的电子交换（化学）力。炸药爆炸后产生的等离子体的凝聚力也有类似的基础。估计给出证明这种解释。
英文摘要：
The phenomenon of ball lightning has been observed for a long time, but the nature of these luminous balls has been unknown. It is proposed here that they consist of highy excited Rydberg atoms with large polarizabilities that bind them together. Thus the cohesion of the balls comes from photon exchange forces (London dispersion forces) rather than the more usual electron exchange (chemical) forces. The cohesion in plasmas generated at the back faces of detonating explosives has a similar basis. Estimates are given to justify this interpretation.
