Line 20:

Often the factor of <math>4\pi/3</math> is dropped. When the Debye length is given by <math> \lambda_D = \sqrt{\frac{\epsilon_0 k T_e}{n_e q_e^2}}</math>, the plasma parameter is given by<ref>Miyamoto, K., Fundamentals of Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, (Iwanami, Tokyo, 1997)</ref>

:<math> \N_D = \frac{(\epsilon_0 k T_e)^{3/2}}{q_e^3 n_e^{1/2}} </math>
