Equation for \Lambda was 4\pi n \lambda_D^3 </math>. Correct form is: \frac{4}{3}\pi n \lambda_D^3 </math> |

Line 3:
The '''plasma parameter''' is a [[dimensionless quantity|dimensionless number]], denoted by capital Lambda, Λ. The plasma parameter is usually interpreted to be the argument of the Coulomb logarithm, which is the ratio of the maximum impact parameter to the classical distance of closest approach in [[Coulomb collision|Coulomb scattering]]. In this case, the plasma parameter is given by:<ref>Chen, F.F., Introduction to Plasma Physics and Controlled Fusion, (Springer, New York, 2006)</ref>
:<math> \Lambda = \frac{4}{3}\pi n \lambda_D^3 </math>
