Plasma properties data is information about collision of particles (electron, atom, ion, molecule, etc) in Plasma. It is key element of design and control for Plasma generation device. It is essential information for the Plasma process conditions establishment. Standard Reference Data (SRD) is official approval data that is analysis and assessment about accuracy and reliability of scientific technique information. Plasma Properties Standard Reference Collection and Evaluation System is needed to make and spread the specific standard reference and reference data with reliability.
