Abstract:
The invention relates to an apparatus ( 1 ) for producing a plasma, having at least one first electrode ( 3 ), at least one second electrode ( 5 ), which is arranged at a distance from the first electrode ( 3 ), a voltage source ( 7 ), which is connected to at least one electrode ( 3,59 ) selected from the first electrode ( 3 ) and the second electrode ( 5 ) such that a potential difference between the at least one first electrode ( 3 ) and the at least one second electrode ( 5 ) can be produced by the voltage source ( 7 ), wherein the at least one first electrode ( 3 ) and the at least one second electrode ( 5 ) define at least one discharge path ( 9 ) for an electrical discharge in a discharge region ( 11 ) between the at least one first electrode ( 3 ) and the at least one second electrode ( 5 ). In this case, a magnetic field arrangement ( 15 ) is provided that is set up and arranged relative to the at least one first electrode ( 3 ) and the at least one second electrode ( 5 ), to provide a magnetic field in the discharge region ( 11 ), so that a magnetic field vector (B) of the magnetic field is oriented at an angle to the discharge path ( 9 ).

Claim (Index 8):
A method for producing a plasma, particularly by means of an apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein\n at least one discharge filament is produced along a discharge path in a discharge region between at least two electrodes, and a magnetic field is provided, which permeates the discharge region at an angle to the discharge path, and the discharge filament is driven by the magnetic field into a propagating movement within the discharge region.
